http://earthsky.org/tonight/ea.....t-day
"Why isn?t the earliest sunset on the year?s shortest day? It?s because of the discrepancy between the clock and the sun. A clock ticks off exactly 24 hours from one noon to the next. But an actual day ? as measured by the spin of the Earth, from what is called one ?solar noon? to the next ? rarely equals 24 hours exactly.
Solar noon is also called simply midday. It refers to that instant when the sun reaches its highest point for the day. In the month of December, the time period from one solar noon to the next is actually half a minute longer than 24 hours. On December 8, the sun reaches its noontime position at 11:52 a.m. local standard time. Two weeks later ? on the winter solstice ? the sun will reach its noontime position around 11:59 a.m. That?s 7 minutes later than on December 8.
The later clock time for solar noon also means a later clock time for sunrise and sunset."

Correct, but it is worth noting that unlike most other locations, in Chicago licht bentschen is 20 minutes before shiya, not 18 minutes like the rest of the US (and most of the world).
All of the locally produced calendars are manually adjusted (from the computer generated zmanim) to account for this.
Today's rabbonim have said that this minhag goes back many, many years here and should be maintained.

I had a friend from South Africa visiting NY a few years ago around this time of year and she couldn't believe how early Shabbos was, and also couldn't believe when I told her how late it can be during the summer. It was something like 4:09, and apparently down there, it never gets earlier than 6-something nor later than 7-something because they're at a much less extreme latitude.
I remember reading awhile back about a frum Israeli who won a Nobel Prize and because the award ceremony was in Stockholm in December, he had plenty of time to make it because the party started at 5 and Havdalah was at like 2:30.

Earliest Shabbat was last week, 3:36pm.
The latest time Shabbat goes out in summer is around 10:30pm. (Though most people start Shabbat by 8pm).

Thank you for that. I've wondered about this ever since noticing the phenomenon some years ago. Another one of life's many mysteries cleared up!

All I know is that I looked at the calendar tonight and saw that it's finally getting later - 2 minutes later than last week! I'M READY!
