Yes, it does work.
Evening is start of the night and morning is start of the day. There is no evening if the night does not follow. It's one long day for weeks in the north.
Since you are really getting technical here, let me do so as well. Does your estimation of when sabbath ends and starts depend on the actual time the sun is seen to start coming around the other way?
Evening is at sunset when the day (which is defined as light) ends. There is no day when light ends to call it evening up north.
Evening means close of day/light. There is no evening up north during the summer. Ther eis no morning up north in winter.
