I suspect you mean 17 mins (for example) extra daylight TOTAL since the shortest day, not an increase of 17 mins per day! That would give us a stunningly short route to Arctic summer … in a month, we get nearly eight hours more light.
Cheers for a lively site, btw

Haha – yes, a total of 17 mins (for Akld) and not an extra 17mins a day! Will adjust the story!
