The earliest sunset of the year is on Saturday, at 4:21 PM. Then after that, slowly but surely the days will start getting longer. It always seems like the sunset become noticably later once you get into January with dusk not until after 5 PM. And then come February, there actually is enough sunlight for it not to be pitch black when you get home from work.
