Good news is tomorrow is 1 second longer. cooldude

Forecast calls for 1-2 inches of rain on the 24th washing the salt & sand away and temps in the 50's on the 25th.

Just might get some riding in. Smiley

You say 1 second, I always thought we gain or lose two minutes a day. One minute at sun rise and one minute at sun set.

This certainly is one of the best days of the year.

I detested the short daylight English winters.

Here's where I got my info. It states the biggest difference from one day to another, in the spring, is 2 mins 51 secs.

You can adjust it to the largest city near you.

Cool site that gives info on sun distance, angle and a bunch more.

Thanks for letting me check as to why I detested English winter. Sunset about 90 minutes before Atlanta. Sunrise about 45 minutes after Atlanta. Made for shoooooort daylight hours. So 2 hours 15 minutes less daylight. Ugh!
