This photo was taken at 3:30P.M. sunset here is at 3:45. Both the sunsets and sunrises are quite beautiful. For those who like watching the sun come up the great thing is you can sleep in till 9:30 and still catch the sunrise. Right now sunrise is at approx 9:45 with sunset at 3:45. The sun only rises about 20 degrees from the horizon and then tracks around to the west. There is no sun here from mid November till mid January. The average winter temperature here is -35 and there is a fairly constant wind. The wind chill generally subtracts about another 10 degrees. Today for example it was -28 but the wind chill was -37. And to all those I told the wind chill doesn't count, it does. While it doesn't make a big difference when bundled up it is very noticable on any exposed skin such as a person's face. I made the mistake of taking my mits off to deal with a lock and within about a minute my hands were freezing. When the wind drops off it seems alot warmer.
