I thought it would be interesting to see how long the shortest day of the year (December 21, 2016) will be in Edmonton compared to other locations of interest.

* Inverness is the farthest north I served on my mission to Scotland. It is 276 miles closer to the Arctic Circle than Edmonton, hence, less daylight in the winter.
