Between freezing rain, dangerously frigid temps, and for some areas, over two feet of snow, Monday's sunshine was a warm welcome.Here's a look at future sunset times in 2024:

The first sunset at 5:30 p.m. will be February 21st.

Clocks will move forward one hour for Daylight Saving Time on March 10.
