About the time in Wausau
Wausau sits at latitude 44.96, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 49m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:07 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (44.96, -89.63) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Wausau.
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.
