Daylight Savings Time

[zacattack]

We may need daylight saving time again if things keep as they are. We all gonna be reading by candlelight again,

 

[Cant hit em]

I get so much sleep during daylight saving , id vote to keep it

 

[MuleyFever]

I’m retired, it doesn’t matter anymore.

In this camp.

Life goals...

Why not just split the difference and leave it alone? So change world time by 30 minutes and then never again.

Just to clarify, the switching back and forth is annoying. I would prefer making daylight savings into the standard. I wouldn't care if sun up happens at 9, but light in the evenings is nice.

I wonder if the desire for full-time standard primarily comes from folks in southern latitudes and westerly portions of time zones. Long summer evenings are payback for the lack of daylight all winter.

Regardless of what time we set the clocks to, eventually we'd adjust our schedules to work with it. I just don't see why we need to change the clocks twice a year?

 

[DapperDan]

Yea I wouldn’t mind getting rid of it

Amen!

I wouldn't want to get rid of DST, but I'd prefer staying on DST to going back to standard time every winter. If anything I would keep moving the clocks forward after fall instead of backwards, to keep the daylight until 8pm year round.

I wouldn't mind if they ditch it

I wish it would get dark at 5pm all year long. That would be awesome.

It does suck to have to get up in the middle of the night to make it to my spot
before daylight.

The shift in one hour is not as annoying as the overall natural light shift into winter.

What is annoying is being in a place you love on the equator like Kenya and having the sun set like a lightswitch every day at 6-6:30. No long evenings till 9 and that everlasting twilight. You get spoiled for those in northern latitudes.

I hate switching back and forth. I would rather stay on standard time. I’m a morning person and like to get up early and get things done before it gets hot in the summer. It would get dark here in the summer about 8:30 instead of 9:30. If you have young kids you would love for it to get dark at bedtime and then the older ones wouldn’t have to stand outside waiting for the school bus in the dark in the mornings. I could care less about it affecting hunting time.

Would rather have the sun after work. No matter the time of year always go to work in the dark in the mornings. Would be nice to have an hour in the evening to at least do something. Now the sun set is 5:15. Hard to get any work in with the dog in the evening.

It makes tons of sense up here in AK.

How so? I hate it up here. Wait I hate it everywhere.

Boy that’s the truth. I spent some time in the Philippines and every day it was dark at 6:30. Made me really appreciate living in Idaho

It was a bit of a joke. Yesterday the sun came up at 9:45. Today 8:45 and in a few weeks it’ll come up around 10:00 am. It doesn’t make any sense at all.

OK - who is all ready to ditch Daylight Savings Time for good?

Sounds like many states are preparing to ditch it.

They are? How and when did you hear this? Which states?

Minnesota - it’s in the news

Legislature passes bill to switch to Daylight Saving Time permanently

Some representatives in the Minnesota legislature are trying to get rid of daylight saving time. Minnesota State Rep. Mike Freiberg wrote a bill to switch our clocks to standard time for good.

I don’t mind it, but my phone totally screwed me this morning with it. Yesterday- Alarm set for 530, worked great yesterday, time for breakfast, get ready drive to hunting spot just as it was getting light. Today- alarm set for 530, eating breakfast looking out the camper window and I’m thinking, damn it’s getting really bright out there, hour late to hunting spot.
