Now that daylight saving time has ended, we’ve entered a depressing stretch of months in the northeast with very, very, short days that end while it’s still afternoon…I know, I know we’re just cutting off the bottom of the blanket and sewing it to the top so the number of hours of daylight would be the same even if we eliminated standard time, but it feels _worse_ with it getting dark earlier. YMMV. But as I noted in another thread, I’ve never really wrapped my mind around the fact that our long summer days and short fall/winter days are not the case everywhere, not even in other parts of the country, and I don’t have a solid sense of where this changes. So help a girl out, and tell me about sunrise and sunset where you are today, wherever you are. Please give your location with country included - I’d love for international dopers to participate too. Inclusion of city/town 100% optional. New Hampshire, United States Sunrise - 6:35 a.m. Sunset - 4:20 p.m. You? ---

Wincle, Cheshire, United Kingdom Sunrise 07:32 Sunset 16:14 One thing I’ve found since moving to the countryside is that the shorter days are much more noticeable. The shorter days in London were mitigated by the vast amount of light emitted by houses, shops, cars, street lights etc. ---

Okay, I currently live in the North-East, so not much point in adding my day length. But here are the sunrise-sunset times for Oslo, where I grew up, and Trondheim, where I went to university, which should explain why the description of " very, very, short days" for the New England winter made me laugh. 😉 Oslo Sunrise 08:11am Sunset 3:50pm Trondheim Sunrise 08:37am Sunset 15:27pm And I grew up on a west-northwest facing slope of a hilly area, where you had to go at least a kilometer to see the sun from early December until mid January. ---

Ummm… This is not correct. The total number of hours of daylight changes thought the year. In your case, the longest day is something like 15 hours, and the shortest is just over 9: [Sunrise and sunset times in New Hampshire](https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@5164292) ---
