I hate daylight savings time, its getting dark earlier so they make it worse !

[Clever screen name]

Oh what fun lets make it so its dark after work. Bummer this forum doesn't have a poll feature, thought it did, I would have bet "fall back" is universally hated.

I go to work in the dark and get home in the dark. An hour +/- makes little difference.

Move to Arizona.

There is a poll option

+1 for hating standard time. It really cuts into my evening archery hunting......difficult to git r dun after work.

Like a forum poll will make time changes go away. :facepalm:

 

[JASinIL2006]

I like Fall back. Spring forward, not so much...

 

[DayCruiser]

This is "standard time" We just got through with Daylight Savings time. They do this in part so kids don't have to wait for the bus in the dark. Daylight savings time was put in place in part to save electricity

I am disliking the 70 degree temps in Minnesota on November 6th.

I wish we would stay one way or the other. The change is worst then just picking one or the other. JMHO

I agree...just pick one and keep it that way.

since a good 50% of the countries use DST, I dont see it going anywhere. Especially since it just celebrated its 100th year

the farther south you live, the less an impact it has

or..... move to Arizona or parts of Indiana where they do not observer DST.

 

[WIMUSKY]

As long as it DST. I too hate it when it gets dark an hr sooner. "Seems" to make a long winter even longer......... It's great when its dark by 5 and some days are sooner.....

How so, except the sun is hotter?

I used to think the same thing..... And was shocked when it was dark just as early in AL as it is up here in WI...

In the winter it stays light longer in the day that up north. Just like it's exactly the opposite in the summer.

For example, right now the sun sets later by around 10 minutes where you live vs where I live. Won't be that way in late December.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Right now there is a 6 min difference between where I live and Birmingham, AL.... I call that a wash... Just like 10mins........

Daylight savings time is to get around contracts that specify working hours. It makes no difference for those working for themselves until they have to interface with others. Of course if you're a TV addict then you're affected by their scheduling.

I like the long summer daylight hours up north. Some parts of Alaska might just be pushing it too much.

It gets bigger as we go into late December.

 

[jakedaawg]

Which part is the savings time and which part is real time? I have always been confused on this.

I like the fall back because I get an extra hour of sleep, at least in my pathetic brain.

I work for myself and usually from dark til dark so it doesn't really effect me.

The sun itself is the same temperature no mater where you are at 5777 K (9941F)

should probably specified how far south.... as the parabolic bell curve of the sun's rays hit the US this time of year, you are correct, Wisconsin hits darkness about the same time as Florida, however we are lighter a bit earlier. best shown on this site https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html.

as you get towards the equator, sun-rise and sun-set are fairly constant irregardless of earth axis tilt due to orbit about the sun

:facepalm:

As far as the equator, agree, although it doesn't come into play with those of us who live in the states. And Canada, well...........:laugh:
