I know some states have gotten away from the setting of clocks, spring ahead or fall behind.
However I kind of like the spring ahead. Yeah, we lose an hour of precious sleep. But I do like having the sun come up earlier and having daylight now already still at 630-7pm and before too long we will have daylight until 9pm or after.
This year they moved it up about 3 weeks from the norm. But its nearly time for the spring clean up and repairs at work and soon ground is going to break for a couple additional structures going up. With added daylight a little sooner I have a hunch these projects will go fairly fast.

I don't care what time it is when the sun sets, I just want it to be warm. It's supposed to be in the 70's here today which sucks because instead of going outside and having fun I have to study for two exams tomorrow.
The weather is taunting me.

I know how that can be. Having to work when it's nice sucks too. But if its outside jobs I'd prefer it to freezing and I get caught in both.

I hate the loss of sleep.
But other than that it means for warmer weather is on the way, eh.

I used to be on the time where you didn't have to set your clocks. But since this year, my county moved to Central time, so I have to switch my clock. I had to move it an hour ahead. But I like it like this better anyways. I may lose one hour of sleep, but at least it doesn't get dark at 6pm anymore.

I don't mind the loss of an hour of sleep that much. I tend to get up kind of early anyway. |

I agree! More sunlight means that we have more time to do stuff outside. Besides, I have a terrible problem of not being able to get outta bed till around 10 AM (I is howmskooled). I love to ride bike. I gots me a Giant Sedona, and it's a good bike. About three to five miles a day does it.
But the stupid cold came back after a warm tease...

Cheers to that. I love warm weather, i'm just not built for the cold and I get sick of the long dark days. I love being outdoors and I really like those long sunny summer evenings. Last year I enjoyed several of those just skateboarding with many different people at our local park during my free time. Actually, I have this great memory from last summer: One evening I just decided to go cruise though an area with some nice hills near my house, it takes about an hour to do a long loop. It was about 5 minutes from sunset when I got to the top of one of my favourite (<-- yeah i'm Canadian  ) hills and as I started down it, after pushing furiously to gain as much speed as possible, and to the sound of Beethoven's "Leonore" impelling through my mp3 player into my ears, I looked up to see a most spectacular sky! Filled with deep reds, an orange sun, and the purple and blues found only during a twilight sky... It was a great moment. With the colours (<--... ), the music, the warmth, and the air following around me. It embodied pure freedom, to me. I have yet to experience anything like this during winter  Oh, and today I woke up to see that everything was covered in ice! It was like some kind of crystal world. This, after having been like 13° last week! WTF?! |

I don't care what time the sun sets. Echo mountain's open till 8:45 regardless of lighting, so I can ski from 4 till 9 on weekdays whether or not daylight savings time occurs.

NAh. That's what glaciers are for. I probably won't have to go backcountry until july, since we've gotten plenty at the resorts this year.

Daylight savings time hurts my brain and makes me sleep in!

So you can ski just about year around? Twelve months a year, in fact. I know a guy who's skied at least once a day for the past decade or so. |
