Daylight Savings Time

[JTG]

Hey gang don't forget to set your clock back one hour. I don't know about any of you but I hate it. Starting tomorrow it will be dark at just a little after 5:00. I literaly count the days until the 21st of December and days start to get longer.
This time of the year driving around out there looking for an address in the dark, fog, rain, wind, no porch lights left on. I become a grumpy sole.
Maybe the extra hour of sleep tonight will make be feel better. Right
Into hibernation goes he

Here's a bit of good news. Starting next year, Daylight Saving Time starts two weeks earlier, and ends one week later.

Which one's DST? The summer or the winter? I hope you mean that next year we'll turn the clock back a week or two LATER. I always thought it was stupid to turn the clocks back the week before halloween. We tell kids to be careful when they trick-or-treat and then we make it dark on them.

[jdm]

DST is the shifted time that provides more evening daylight during the summer. The rest of the year is standard time. And yes, it will get dark an hour later next Halloween. (But isn't it more fun to go out after dark?)

[Tool Guy - Kg]

Is the shift to extend daylight savings next year what were are switching to...or is this a stepped progression to extend it even further the following years to come? :shrug:

[jdm]

We will turn the clocks ahead two weeks earlier in the Spring, and back one week later in the Fall, so DST will be three weeks longer starting next year.

See how confused y'all are? Move to AZ and don't worry about it. We stay on the same time all year.

Isn't there a state where half the state changes and the other half not?

[Tool Guy - Kg]

Yeah, Marge...Indiana. But not no more; they started DST this year. AZ is now flying solo.

Jeff, ya got me wrong...not confused about next year. I'm asking if next year's shift is a prelude to an even longer stint of daylight savings times in years to come. :)

[jdm]

Not that I am aware of. The powers that be don't want kids waiting for the morning school bus in the dark.

The normal time is in the winter. If they did away with DST, it would affect how long the summer days are.:)

[tileguytodd]

Doesnt matter...............winters here............its always grey anyways............now i'm getting depressed.

Hey , wait a minute...............laws changed, now i can shoot ducks till dark. I dont have to quit at 4:30
hmmmmmmm i guess there is a brite side to everything :D

If you scotch tape your eyelids open doesn't DST last forever?

We do not change the clocks, but then Arabs have a different concept of time :yeah:

Jeff, Tonto, Jearmy, Todd, Shawn, Matt, Marge etal......

I git's sooo confoosed' and upset over gummint' a-messin' wif' my intfernal' clock that I meets' my-own-self..... on my own doorstep.... on the way to work when I'm a-commin' home...... kinda' like "Its' time to make the donuts".

It's hell enough to git's old wifout' some ee-lected' official messin' wif' my alarm clock.

Hurrrrumph!

If we keep springing ahead sooner and falling back later, won't it end up being pitch black out at noon at some point?
