Some random input coming from Norway - a cold place in the winter time hence suitable for thinking a bit...

sunrise to sunset, add 2.5 hrs
EarthTools - sunrise/sunset (and a host of other utilities) is a great Google maps mashup, and a reminder that since work started up on January second, the "day" has gotten a hour longer in the morning - and an hour and a half in the afternoon! Or from 09:22 to 08:15 for sunrise and from 15:20 to 16:48 for sunset... and counting. So spring is one the way, even if winter has/had finally taken hold over the last two weeks - bringing a tranquil cover of white, broken up by rather cold winds whipping around corners and down empty streets
