Daylight Savings Time

[cnelk]

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

Sounds like many states are preparing to ditch it.

I vote keep it. Or switch us to central time (a blasphemous thought in this part of the state).

Standard time on the east side of the time zone at this latitude would have summer dawn start at 3:30 and dark about 8:30. Wasted sunlight with hours like that. Too early to get up, and dark too early in the evening.

Starting Sunday, I will go to work and get home in the dark for the next several months. I sometimes go a week without seeing sunlight.

4 months. That’s it of Standard Time.

March 13, 2022 is the next Daylight Savings switch.

Can anyone post why this is a good thing?

Switch it to DLS (like it is now,) and leave it! Much rather have sunlight after work than sunlight hours before waking up!

My understanding is proposals are to ditch standard time, and go daylight savings year around. I am on the year around standard time train.

Have to wonder with how Covid has changed how a lot of white collar work is done, that there won't be more of a push to permanent DST. People coming into the office less, and later means there's less commutes in the dark, and more time after work to be outside and enjoy the sunlight.

I know I sure prefer waking up tomorrow at 530AM and having plenty of time to get ready to head out to the woods before sunrise than doing that next weekend at 430AM.
