17:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
Industry sets the pulse in Downtown Burlington as much as the IANA zone America/New_York. Small-city Eastern Time. Winter dark at 16:00 makes late pings feel ruder. The polite window around Downtown Burlington is 08:00–17:00 local. Midwinter sunsets still arrive before dinner, which makes late Slack feel later than the clock. If you only remember one rule: Do not stack follow-ups just because you are still in your afternoon. Burlington still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July).
