About the time in Scranton
Scranton sits at latitude 46.15, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 50m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Scranton runs on America/Denver, which puts the city UTC −6 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.
Around 288 people live in Scranton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
