 I was baffled by the what time is it when you hold four fingers up
between sun and horizon. Taking my walk this morning at 7AM so I
could and did get back from our two mile walk while it was still
enjoyably cool- I did that four finger thing and said okay it's uh
July and sumer so it's 7ish. (Knowing what time it was is of course
was a cheat but then again you KNOW it's just past dawn.. If it were
winter it' would be after 7 or so...

Don't you all know what 'day' looks like during the course of the day?
:) :) Now I couldn't tell you what time it might be by night because
I'm usually sound asleep at night and even if I was awake I'd say well
it feels like the middle of the night 

But by daylight as long as the sun is shining I can guess the hour
fairly well and yes the season matters. Just by how the light falls/
the shadows made etc.. by how the day looks.

Now on an OVercast day: this is much harder Except at noon which is when
the 'day' looks brightest unless there is a dark cloud thunderstorm going on
at the time ...
