About the time in Erie
Erie sits at latitude 42.13, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Erie runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:37 and sunset at 08:08 local time, giving 13h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.13, -80.09) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Erie.
