Have you noticed that the days are getting longer? Today (February 21st) sunrise is at 6:45AM and sunset is at 5:42PM, giving us 10 hours, 59 minutes of daylight. Winter solstice was two months ago, on the 21st of December. At that time Sunrise was at 7:17 and sunset at 4:38, giving us 9 hours and 21 mintues of daylight. So it’s not your imagination–we’ve gained 1 hour and 37 minutes of daylight since the shortest day of the year. Source: www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/denver?month=02&year=2018
