Apr 30 NOON in Virginia : 1 minutes LATE [0L]
The Sun's shadow was parallel my baseline at 1:01PM on 4/30 in VA. The difference I am noting here in Virginia is in the shadow itself. Until recently, the shadow contained only the lamp post on my white paper. Now it includes about two inches of the lamp itself. The Sun arches in the South behind my lamp post. Thus, the shadow appears to indicate that the Sun is arching farther to the North than it has been. May be normal season change, but I don't remember seeing the lamp shadow on my paper during all the months we have been measuring, which has to be about one year.
