Stacey Dawes writes from Dundalk: "I've noticed that the time of the daily sunrise has been stuck at around 7:25 p.m. since mid-December. I thought we would be gaining some morning sunlight once we passed the winter solstice." The sun's not stuck. The latest sunrise is Jan. 4, not at the solstice. Baltimore's sunrise advanced from 7:19 a.m. Dec. 15 to 7:27 Jan. 4. Now it's retreating, and we're gaining a few seconds of sunlight each morning. By month's end, we'll be gaining about a minute a day.
