I wonder how much all those cold NW winds out of Canada will be effecting the colder water in the north Atlantic it was a constant theme in December, again now. Interesting to see if it stays cold thought this spring into next winter also?

It's interesting the angle of the ecliptic means that the sunrise time continues to get lighter later even after the winter solstice and the earliest sunset time is actually just before the solstice sometime around Dec 15th. Certainly seems to take mornings a long time to get lighter.
