About the time in Seneca
Around 37 people live in Seneca, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Seneca sits at latitude 45.06, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
