It gets light earlier here than it did in Pittsburgh or Akron. I like that; I need daylight to wake up in the morning. I can't say for sure, but hopefully come wintertime I'll at least have twilight when the alarm goes off at 6:30.
Since I'm a few degrees farther east, sunrise and sunset both happen a little bit earlier here, which as I said before is fine -- I want my daylight when I'm waking up, not when I'm already in for the evening. And since I'm farther south, I get more daylight in the winter and less in the summer. Not by much, but again those extra couple minutes in the winter may be the difference between being semi-alert and slogging through my morning routine.
Of course, since we're past the equinox, that means Akron's and Pittsburgh's days are both longer than mine down here in NoVA. I'll take the trade-off though.
