My day length calculator shows that in my part of the world, Sunday's length is 7:27:44 and Monday's length is also 7:27:44.
The ... shortest *days* of the year. Maybe that means the extreme point is around midnight (mountain standard time) this year.
I've heard that the shortest and longest days of the year are affected not just by when the earth tilts towards/away from the sun (does this define solstice?), but also the apogee and perigee of the orbit. Too complex for me to remember how it works, though.
