point taken.
I have not done this b4.

I watch the news every mornign and just after the weather they give the hours of daylight.

Here is a link to hours of daylight by latitude. i am sure if you search for more than the 5 seconds I did, you can come up with something for your area, that will tell you exatly how lon the day is (or isn't).
