Denver's earliest sunset is 4:35.

Williston ND sunset can be early as 5:00, but their sunrises can be as late as 8:45.

Summer. During the dead of winter the sun is low on the horizon, and daylight only lasts a few hours.

Honest question - does hours per day of sun matter if total sunny days per winter season is high? In other words, does an extra hour of sun per day real matter if nearly every day is sunny, broken up by occasional big snow storms?

We went a trip to Charleston this June and stopped off in Boone, since it was halfway down from Pittsburgh. We packed for the 95-degree weather in SC, but were shocked the morning we awoke (in June, remember) that it was only 50 degrees! It would have been fine, except we hadn't packed any jackets, or even long-sleeved shirts.

Boone is wonderful though. Nice small college town.

One idea, not in a city, but an hour's drive from Tucson. Wikipedia says Mt Lemmon Ski Valley averages 180 inches of snow annually. There are some houses up there, FWIW.

Alamosa, Colorado cold, sunny, and dry at an elevation over 7,000 ft.
