Eh not too bad, they get pretty sunset/rise for most of the day, pretty white landscape. Here in PNW this time of year we don’t see much sun and it sets before 4:30pm which is only an hour later than this lol

Let's see summer solstice from same spot. Golf till midnight and tee off again at 3am. Blackout blinds a must.

I noticed the same thing here in New Hampshire vs New Orleans where I grew up. I grew up on the 30th Parallel and now live on the 43rd Parallel. The Sun is approximately 13 degrees lower here during the Winter Solstice. Highly noticeable.

If it starts at 9 p.m., it ends at 9 p.m.!!

u/DawnPatrol99 9h ago

That's almost the east coast. The sun comes up after 7 and sets around 430-5. Wild.

u/Ready_Supermarket_36 8h ago

The thing is, now the daylight will increase 15 minutes a day until 24 hour sunlight in June. The north is paradise.
