I am happy because the shortest day of the year wasn't as short as it used to be. Is it my imagination, or is it not as dark at 5:00 pm as it used to be,say, a couple of years ago?

Weren't you living in Cleveland a couple of years ago? Things are just darker there, on average.

Re 533> I was in Cleveland last year. The year before that India, and the year before that I was in Columbus. I remember it being pitch dark at about 4:30 pm, and it's just grey at 5:00 pm these days.

The more north you are, the earlier it gets dark. But I live north of Cleveland and I have never noticed it being dark as early as 4:30 here before. I know it is pretty dark by 5:30 when I get off of work and still just a little light (but mostly dark) at 5p.

in Pittsburgh it is usually pretty dark by 530 or 6 these days. . . (or it was when I was there up to a week and a half ago)

I'm just glad I'm living in the southern part of Alaska -- I don't think I could take the dark in Barrow this time of year. After many years in Michigan and a few in the Seattle area I didn't think I was particularly affected by loss of sunlight but the short days this winter have been quite a drag. On the bright side (so to speak) the long days in summer are very, very nice..
