It's time for the semi-annual update of the
Chicago sunrise chart. (You can get one for your own location at
http://www.wx-now.com/Sunrise/SunriseChart.aspx.)
An interesting note about 2010: the sunset on November 6th will be the latest sunrise in Chicago (7:30am) until 2021—and that, only within 4 seconds of precision.
