Yes, by about an hour and a quarter. The first fast, around 8 February, is 11h 37m and the last, around 8 March, is 12h 51m. Days are lengthening through late winter, so each fast adds a few minutes to the one before.
Which way is the Qibla from Cedar Rapids?
Face 46 degrees clockwise from true north, one degree past north-east. On a flat map Makkah appears to lie east and a little south. The direct route over the globe climbs well to the north instead.
