he dosent know the time of day anyway… C22…

Staying on Daylight Savings Time means that the entire first week in January the sun will rise about 8:20AM. All of December, January and the first week of February will see sunrise at 8:00AM or later.

That is fine for me. I start my commute in the dark for most of winter anyway. The problem has always been kids going to school in the dark. I don't have young kids, but if I did, I would be concerned about safety. They will be selling a lot of reflective clothes for kids who still actually walk to school or take their bikes. The other issue will be that the morning darkness will mess with a kids internal clock and of course, hurt their futures by not being awake for the first hour of classes.

Of course, this will be reported as a deliberate attempt to suppress the black and brown communities bla bla bla.

So there you go. Personally it will not effect me, but I will stand behind parents who object to it for the wellbeing of their children.

BTW, the edit is to note that this if for the New York City / Long Island latitude. The further north you go, Boston, Maine, the later the sunrise and the more darkness you will experience.

chit this weekend,,,,,,,,,,, i thought it was a done deal,,,, no more,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,[COLOR=rgb(26, 188, 156)] ><)))):>

AMIIGAS. If its voted "gone" it would take place (or not take place depending on your point of view) in 2023. I have mixed feelings on this. For deer hunting, I would prefer that the morning sunrise occurs later. For kayak fishing, I think starting in the dark could be harder. Bottom line: being retired means I really don't give a good do do either way as I no longer work for "the man." Farmers and ranchers could probably care less as well, except they still have to deal with the 9 to 5 types regarding markets.
Our local Snoozeday had an article this morning indicating a dark morning would be harder on kids going to school.
Should we, can we, could we start a poll, which I have no idea how to do ?

A poll has to be Longitudinally Adjusted where people at higher longitudes get more votes, because...

The further away from the Equator, the greater impact on when you get more daylight by virtue of DST is felt. There is ALWAYS 12 hrs of daylight on the equator, as opposed to Zero daylight during winter at the North & South Poles...

Today's Stats:

Pemaquid Maine: 43.89°N, Sunrise - 07:18, Sunset - 17:22 - 10:04 hours of daylight
Islip, New York: 40.72°N, Sunrise - 07:28, Sunset - 17:44 - 10:12 hours of daylight
Melbourne, Florida: 28.08°N, Sunrise - 7:35, Sunset 18:36 - 11:01 hours of daylight

FYI, Hawaii doesn't do the DST thing since it doesn't matter. Right now in Hilo, the largest city on the Southernmost island, has these stats.

Hilo, Hawaii: 19:72°N, Sunrise - 06:23, Sunset - 17:44 - 11:19 hours of daylight

But think of what you can do with those extra eight minutes !

Ok so who forgot to change the clocks ahead?
