Our stats for sunrise and sunset today according to Weather Underground:

Sunrise: 10:55 AM AKST
Sunset: 2:52 PM AKST

;_;

Adding insult to injury, the sun won't actually shine on our house until early February, because the sun is so low on the horizon at this time of year that it doesn't rise above the hill to the south of us. What this looks like is that the sky gets clear and blue, and the yard gets sort of bright, like a densely cloudy day ... and then sunset happens. Repeat until February.

(The light also has a pinkish cast all day long, like sunset, because the sun never rises above that low sunset angle. On the bright side, we do have awesome winter sunsets that last all day, allowing for the fact that "day" is three hours long.)

Just in case you were thinking about moving to Fairbanks.
