My husband and I just moved up here in June. We've been enjoying the longer days up here, but I've heard that the longer summer days also mean much shorter winter days.

I've heard that in the dead of winter sunrise is between 7am-8am and sunset is between 4pm-5pm. Is there any truth to that??

Just wondering.

Thanks!

Oh, and does anyone know if it snows in Issaquah??

Sounds about right, Veronika.

I'm sure somebody will narrow it down even further if you need it. And of course, the turning point is around Christmas ...what, the winter solstice is December 22? ...from that point on, the days will incrementally get a bit longer.

Like we've said in other threads, most will be going to work in the dark and coming home from work when it's dark. That's one component in the S.A.D equation.

Thanks, Rocco, that was what I was afraid of. I'm not concerned about myself, I work from home, but oh, my poor husband.

OH yeah - no light at all! Or so it seems

I'd say sunrise at 8 am and sunset at 4 pm is about right - and it's not sunny either - just cloudy - so the daylight hours aren't even that light outside to begin with

It snows lightly everywhere - but more by issaquah then Seattle only because you are farther from the water...but it's not going to be "get out the snowblower" kind of snow

Go to USNO Astronomical Applications Department and click "Data Services". Second link down on the Data Services is the one you want....

December 1 for Seattle: sunrise 0736, sunset 1620 PST.

I just knew somebody could narrow it down! Thanks, jab-me!

But the glass is half-full, not half-empty. In June and July expect it to be light well be before you wakeup, and complete darkness not till after 10pm!

It snowed here in Issaquah twice last winter. Both times the whole town shut down since they can't seem to handle it out here. Being from PA, we are used to the snow so it didn't affect us but people could not get up to the plateau or the highlands from down here since they don't plow/salt out here like in the east.

Interesting. We're up in the highlands, so that should be fun. I like snow, it's such a foreign thing to me!
