My sister and brother in the Cities said it is a mess there.

Looks like it's snowing pretty good up at the lake on the resorts's camera.

It's still coming down up at the lake, Geiger's railing looks like it must have about 2" on it.

Snowed for a long time here in Warroad. But fine snow so maybe an inch or hair more.

This is a fun weather type of thing that I think about every summer and winter.  Tomorrow as you know is the shortest day of the year.  Here in Baudette sunrise is: 8:09  Sunset is:  4:25.  In Luverne sunrise is:  7:55  Sunset is: 4:51.  So in the same great state sunrise is 14 minutes different and sunset is 26 minutes different.  SO 40 minutes shorter days here in the winter and appx 40 minutes longer in the summer.
Baudette days now are 8:16 long and Luverne days are 8:56 long.   

This is the first time I thought about this:  That may have an effect on hunting start and stop times?????

Interesting point. I know the times are different east to west, but I never thought about north and south. Go figure. I checked the sunrise and sunset tables for the northwestern Minnesota town of Hallock and the southeastern town of Caledonia. The sunrise times were 8:18 for Hallock and 7:36 for Caledonia.  That's 42 minutes difference. Interestingly, the sunset times only varied by two minutes. 4:34 and 4:32. Strange for sure.

Actually, I look at that quite often as I keep here & Inger both tabbed on TWC's homepage. Like today here we're just 1 minute short of 9 hours from sunrise to sunset, 7:39-4:38. But at the lake the day is only 8 hours & 26 minutes long as it's sunrise to sunset times are 8:01-4:27. Then in the Summer those times are reversed as the days are longer at the lake. That's on 2 locations roughly 400 miles apart.

That is about how far it is from Baudette to Luverne.  About 400 miles

During hunting season all I go by is the sunrise/sunset table in the hunting regulations. Those are different than weather apps. Sunset is usually later in the regs.

  its pretty much what i do also..........especially in the morning.

as far as the evening.........it depends on if we have an anterless permit. if its getting to the point where you cant tell if it has horns or not..........i'm heading out. i'm not taking that risk.............i'd rather let a deer walk then make that mistake........... no wanna go there!!!!

The MN regs usually show sunise/sunset tables with fixed +/- time deltas as you move from east to west - something like 4 or 5 minutes for each band on the map.

Frank Watson publishes a Weather Watcher calendar that has a sunrise/sunset chart/map that is more accurate each month.  The time offset bands are not actually vertical across the state, they are slanted.  And the closer it gets to the solstice, the more they slant.

So especially later in the season, when you follow the legal shooting times, it may be lighter or darker than you expect depending on if you are in the north or south part of the state.

I followed the dnr's sunrise/set for years. But now it's so much easier on the weather apps where ever your standing , spot on. I am worried about getting rid of the time change, we all will be sleeping in with it getting light later in the morning. Rooster hunting might start at 10 vs 9...
