Shouldn't be noticeably lower if it were the same time (celestially speaking). However we change times at different times now so that may account for it.

I'm also surprised no one else commented. Anyway, what I've observed is this: The sun seems to be much lower this fall; it is already below tree level at midday in the south, which doesn't normally happen until around Christmas. Plus, I noticed that the roof's shadow covers the base of my clothesline post already, I don't recall it going beyond the base at all in previous years. I'll have to move it a little further north so the sun will hit all the laundry! Summer observations are even more sketchy, in that noontime sun seemed almost vertical overhead, and we had several heat waves of more that a few consecutive days over 90 degrees. These can also be contributed to changing weather patterns, but not the sun. We are in northern Rhode Island, about 41-42 degrees latitude.
