Pretty much the same here...  A definite difference seen between winter
and summer as to length of day/night... and closer to equal for fall and
spring... as one would expect, given the equinoxes and the solstices,
after all... :)   As a child, I learned a Robert Louis Stevenson poem to
that effect... "In winter [...]/ I have to dress by candlelight/ In
summer, quite the other way,/ I have to go to bed by day."
