.... days will now be shorter until April
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Actually, you don’t have to wait until April ... daylight savings time begins March 8 in 2020.

Actually you don’t even have to wait until we are back on DST for the sunset to be as late as it is now. In Northern California the sunset on March 8 of this year, when we were on standard time [one or two days before the change], was the same as it is today, November 2, on DST: 6:10 p.m.
The sunrise on March 8 was almost an hour earlier, 6:35, compared to 7:33 this morning.
The actual length of the day of course goes from sunrise to sunset, and will be the same time as it is now on about February 1.
Also incorrect.
The days will continue to get shorter until the Winter Equinox which is Saturday, December 21st. After that, our days start getting longer again.
It doesn't seem like it, but they do.
