Good morning a few hours too early

[General Beanie]

I've learned to appreciate that errors are not always recognized as errors by Glenn. If you ignore a mistake, perhaps it will just fade away quietly.

I don't need to consult any table produced by Tiller to figure out when the sun comes up. I also would have thought that a Canadian would realize that there's no light whatsoever at 48 N latitude at either 4 a.m. OR 6 a.m. in December, unless they consider the aurora borealis "dawn".

You can type in any date and location on earth and see for yourself:

For the time calculation keep in mind that the earth rotates 15 degrees of longitude every hour, so if you're in the vicinity of Stalingrad you're about 3 hours east of the prime meridian.

The bottom line is that the 4 a.m. turn in ANY December scenarios in ANY part of Russia or Europe should be a night turn, regardless of what Tiller's chart might say. :soap:
