Default Transversing

I've been doing some simple sums, and ended with surprising results.
I noticed that the sun transverses the sky quicker at the summer
solstice than the winter solstice.

At the summer solstice, the sun crosses the sky at 3.8 mins per degree.
At the winter solstice, the sun crosses the sky at 4.8 mins per degree.

There was I thinking that in the winter the sun is in the sky less time,
so it must cross the sky at a quicker rate.
