Long nights

Winternight in Sweden in december, how long do you guess it is?

12 h? 14? 16? No it´s 17h and 28 min at the longest! And around 'midvintersolståndet' the nights is all the same length since the sun is so low. More here (swedish, sorry guys)

Natten till 19 december – 17 timmar och 28 minuter
Natten till 20 december- 17 timmar och 27 minuter
Natten till 21 december – 17 timmar och 28 minuter
Natten till 22 december – 17 timmar och 28 minuter
Natten till 23 december – 17 timmar och 28 minuter
Natten till 24 december – 17 timmar och 28 minuter

That is kind of crazy - there is not one longest night of the year in Sweden, but six or so nights?

I remember the sun coming "up" about noon and starting to go down about 3.
