Winter Solstice

Chicago received 49 minutes of more light during the Summer Solstice. Will Chicago have 49 minutes of additional darkness during the Winter Solstice?

Los Angeles
Sunrise: 6:56 a.m.
Sunset: 4:48 p.m.

Normal high: 68
Normal low: 48

________________________
Chicago
Sunrise: 7:15 a.m.
Sunset: 4:23 p.m.

Normal high: 30
Normal low: 18

It does seem L.A. wins the more daylight category by 45 minutes for the Winter Solstice but Chicago has an additional 4 minutes of light overall -- at least by these statistics.
