About the time in Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon sits at latitude 38.31, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Mount Vernon runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 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 06:18 and sunset at 07:38 local time, giving 13h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.31, -88.92) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mount Vernon.
