Daylight

jeffcat · Mar 7, 2018

Don't forget it is time to leap forwards this weekend. My how time flies. Sunset is one minute before 6PM. so it will be 7PM Sunday night. Time to go play out in the yard.

thanks!

What I don't like is the fact that it is getting light about 6:15 now, but won't get light until 7:15 on Sunday. Daylight saving is 2 weeks too long at each end now. It is a full 7 months.

I love Day Light Savings Time and I love switching back and forth 2X a year gives people something to carry on about(LOL)

I just wish we would pick one and stick with it seams like nonsense to me 😜

Even though I'm retired I look forward to DST, and it's really great for our son who works till 6 or 7 every evening.

Here in Arizona, the clocks are not changed. Time zone stays the same year in year out.

Bob...Retired...Winter Snow Bird and loving it.

it saves the nation a tremendous amount in energy costs for lighting in the evening

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they'd back it off one more week. It always happens right before Board of Review so I have to get up early,start chores in the dark to get there by 9am,then feel tired and dragged out all day long.

Leap forwards??? You do realize most of us old geezers here coulden't actually leap even if the barn was on fire. lol

During the summer, if you left it on standard time, the sun would come up at 4AM and go down at 8PM.

In winter, if you left it on daylight saving time, the sun wouldn't come up until 9AM.

Both of those have their problems, which is why they keep on with changing the time.

Personally I would prefer if they left it on daylight saving time all year around. The extra hour of daylight after work would be nice for snowblowing the driveway, or giving the kids some time to play outside.

I'm going to have to show your reply to my wife. We were talking about DST last night at dinner and she was, ummm, carrying on about it a bit

rossow (mn) · Mar 7, 2018

I grew up on a livestock farm, then worked jobs all my life that had me at work by 6 a.m. by necessity or choice, so morning daylight meant very little to me. But I love the longer evenings when the sun doesn't set until 9 p.m. I could live with DST year-around.

Bob I'm with you, I would like to see them wait a couple of weeks in the spring. Don't mind the time change schedule in the fall. I am in a northern state though. I suppose in the south where it warms up sooner, outdoor activities after work in the evening can be taken advantage of sooner when the time change is in early march.

I have to work Saturday night. I'll only have to work 11 hours. Yay me!

It really sucks when I catch the fall back Saturday night and have to work 13.

Every time this subject comes up I see replies that shows how most can not see past the end of their nose because they only consider themselves.

You guys up north have to remember you have a lot longer days in the summer and a lot shorter days in the winter then us down south have.

Our longest day is 14 hours 6 to 8 and our shortest day is 10 hours 7 to 5.

BarnyardEngineering · Mar 7, 2018

So if anything, that means DST should mean LESS to you than it does to us up North.

Overall it averages out to exactly 12 hours of daylight per day year around for everyone. It's just when those hours are, before work, during work, after work, so you can take advantage of them.

If you pay for that energy in the morning or the evening you are still paying for it.

Kansasredneck · Mar 7, 2018

Grew up on a dairy farm. Tried explaining it to a cow. Didn't work. The time change disrupts people's sleep patterns, and results in a lot of meaningless deaths every year.
I wake when I wake. I work for a jerk, so the time schedule matters nada.

way more lighting is used in the evening than the morning--most people are not even up that first hour in the morning
