Days are quickly getting shorter
The number of #daylight hours are now steadily shrinking by 1 to more than 3 minutes per day depending on where you live in the Lower 48. Northern parts of the country lose daylight at a #faster #rate than southern parts. For example, #Portland, Ore., loses more than three #minutes of daylight per day through mid-#October, while #Miami loses about 1.5 minutes per day during the same period.
