Longer Days

[Father Guido]

yes, the length of daylight will gradually lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere as the sun traverses to its most northerly declination of 23.5 degrees at the Summer Solstice, which this year will occur sometime on June 21st; if you want to calculate sunrise/sunset without just looking at the days WX forecast, you could buy a Nautical Almanac and calculate your exact time of sunrise/set for your geographical position (Lat/Long), as I remember the formula was not that difficult

When I lived in the US, we had a vacation house in Rangeley, Maine. I'm Jewish and so we light candles on Friday nights, 18 minutes before sundown. And I shall never forget lighting candles at 3.30 in the afternoon.

We spin around the sun & so it goes.

I LOATHE the US thing of daylight saving time. Mercifully, it ends March 12.

Let's hope it won't be around next year.

They've been yammering on about this practically since DST started. Don't hold your breath.
