This Time of the Year When Does It Get Totally Dark...

[Virgo10]

where you are? And where are you? Here in central Florida I'm still amazed to see a bit of light in the sky at 7 p.m. and it's only March!

After living near the coast of Massachusetts my whole life, it seems strange to get so much more light in the day. I spent some time in the area near Detroit a few years ago and they really get a lot of daylight. If I recall correctly, during the summer it was still light out near 10 p.m.

I had the reverse shock...I grew up in southern california and moved to new england for college and ended up staying. I remember in the darkest of winter when it was dark at 4pm and being completely shocked over it. I'm more used to it now, but still, what a difference. I'm not sure what time it was totally dark out, but I do remember looking at the clock at 5:30 tonight and being happy there was still some daylight. yay.

Here in Richmond, sunset is 6:22, but it gets dark a bit after 6:30. One of my favorite things about WDW is it's always lighter there longer in the winter. On the other hand, when we were children and visited my grandparents in Canada, I can remember playing outside at 9 pm and it still being very light out.

Sunset was around 6pm and when I got home at 6:30 it was just really getting dark out

Southwestern CT here, and I noticed that at about 630PM it was going from deep dusk to dark.

That's better than 4PM, which is what it's like in December.

Yes, but we get the sun earlier in the morning!

I will never forget out 1st trip to WDW in October. Up here, the sun is up by FULL by 6AM that time of year. We woke up, I was running around getting the kids dressed and putting the sunblock on, with DH's help. He opens the door, and asks me what time it was. I said 7AM. He said no way, the clock is wrong. I wanted to know what he was talking about, I knew the clock wasn't wrong. He opens the door all the way, so I could see...BLACK AS NIGHT.

That is weird to me. Having it be so dark so late in the morning.
