Daylight Saving Time

[jamil]

One thing that we in central Indiana often do not acknowledge is that any affect from time change or DST does not just happen to us on the backside of the time zone, it happens to folks in the middle and at the beginning of a time zone in much different ways.

ATM asked why even change? If we were on permanent DST the December/January sunset would be at 4:30. Probably workable for us, however, for the leading edge of CTZ, they would experience a 3:30 sunset and would likely not consider that workable.

Our time laws are a compromise between folks that live at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of a time zone.

Sunset at 4:30? In central Indiana? If Y’all were on DST? I don’t think so. According to the sunrise/sunset calendar, January 1st sunrise was at 8:05 AM, sunset was at 5:30 PM. That’s Eastern STANDARD time. If Indiana were on Eastern DAYLIGHT time during January, sunrise and sunset would be an hour later on the clock, not an hour earlier.

So sunrise at 9:05 AM, sunset at 6:30 PM DST. It’s fair to say a lot of folks would not want the sunrise that late on the clock. But a 6:30 sunset would be just fine for most people. So **** those morning people. *******s.

I think you are correct and I brain farted, it is the 9am sunrise that folks object to.

You might need to explain your thinking here. Moving the clocks back an hour for the winter made it appear to rise and set earlier, not later, during those 4 months.

Somebody fooled you into thinking this made sense, but it doesn't.

Sorry, I twisted it bassackwards...

Should be more than 2 to catch.
And maybe not so "girlie".

Never think for a moment that he's not watching, even if he doesn't post in a given thread

Only 3 1/2 more whining days till the world stops spinning!!

No wait, it goes into hyperspeed in the spring, it stops spinning in the fall.

Just a short time travel jump ahead.

It's just a spring to the front... and then a fall to the back...

So, let's see. If you didn't go to DST on March 10, then sunrise would be at 7:04 am and sunset at 6:46 pm for 11hrs and 42 minutes of daylight

But, by going to DST, that becomes sunrise at 8:04 am and sunset at 7:46 pm for a total of 11 hrs and 42 minutes of daylight, an increase of zero percent

Brilliant!

But you "saved" it for later.

 

[actaeon277]

If it's gonna happen, it should happen during my double shift.
But does it?
NO!

 

[Reller39]

This will be first time I'm not working day shifts on spring time change. This will be the first time my wife isn't an hour late to 55 minute church service

I think I may have mentioned before how much I categorically HATE DST, but just in case I haven't, I do.

I'm not clear about how you feel.
