Golden hour is not the same length all year in Sandy. It is longest in December at about 44 minutes and shortest in March at about 36 minutes — a difference of 8 minutes of usable warm light per evening.
Sandy gets 5h 47m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 5:01 PM in December to 9:00 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 9:33 PM, and in December until about 5:32 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
