8 hours 49 minutes of daylight.



8 hours 32 minutes daylight.


Our dawn is 45 minutes later than yours by the clock.

We get right the same amount as Presque Isle, ME. Friend of ours was from there and we figured it out one year because he claimed Maine was further north than Washington.

Many US maps are tilted so latitude can get confusing. Minnesota has the furthest north point in the contiguous US if I remember correctly. Yes I pulled up a map.

I don't know how relevant it is, but... those latitude markings are not curved to match the decreasing radius of the earth.

That's because it's a mercator centered on the US.

Most maps dont show the 50th parallel. Just every 15° not much choices when you look for smaller areas of the world

Bind weed. Most often found in areas where the soil has been disturbed by previous habitation. So named b/c of the tenacious tendency these exposed roots have for binding up lawn more blades. They can also cause issues when tilling new ground, due to their fibrous nature. To effectively rid your property of these plants, you must diligently root them out, and follow the rhizomes back to their origination point. Once you have done that, you can be assured that they will not propagate.
