[Magdalen] Time is -- uh ....

[Charles Wohlers]

Also depends greatly on whether you're on the eastern or western edge of the 
time zone. So sunsets and sunrises in Michigan are about an hour later than 
those in Maine. Same with Omaha vs. Chicago.

For example, sunset here today is at 4:40; however, where Judy is in 
Michigan (due west of here), it's 5:29 - nearly an hour later. And just 
across the lake in Green Bay (CST), it's 4:40 again.

Kate -

You maybe worked in Duluth?  Or Bellingham, WA, or Portland, ME?

I'm not sure the winter sun goes down that early much to the south of
these latitudes.  In NE Pennsylvania, the mid-winter sun goes  down
at about 4:35 PM, which meant that if I got out of the VA at 4:30  PM,
I'd have a small amount of daylight and then twilight for the half  hour
trip up the mountain.  With DST, it would be daylight for the  whole
trip.
