Rory's Dance, Dean and Rory have slept together all night in Miss Patty's Dance Studio. There's snow on the ground as Rory shoelessly runs home. According to Miss Patty, it's 5:30 in the morning. I'm sorry, but at that stage of winter, the sun doesn't come up until after 7:00 or even later. There's no way there's that much sunlight at 5:30 on a cold winter morning.
