Here in Israel I hate winter to come but cannot keep it away.
On Sunday morning very early in the morning we turn our clocks here for wintertime. We
turn them back on Sunday, October 27th from 2 am to 1 am. Is there anyone else here that turns their clocks on that day too?

We do that here as well. I can't say that I like myself. It's way too dark in the morning when I get up and the sun does not come up until I have been at work for some time. I work in the back of the building and there are no windows. So, when the sun does come up I can't even see it.

@Hannihar I work in a warehouse, so there is no sunlight coming in but I do go outside during my break.

I do not like the dark either. I love sunny days. Sorry it is dark when you get up and with no windows you cannot see outside when the day starts.

I am glad you at least go out on your break to get light.

You are lucky you do not have to worry about changing your clocks there. We have two seasons. Israeli has two seasons: winter (late Oct to mid-Mar), which is cool to cold and when the rains occur, and summer (Apr–Oct), which is warm to hot and virtually rain-free. Winter in Israel starts with showers in October and advances to periodic heavy rainfall from November to March.

@Hannihar and I am lazy
And he is a perfectionist, so he needs them all perfectly on time. And I might not leave the clock perfectly straight! He might not be a Grumpy Old Man, but he is a Fussy one.
I should dust all the clocks since he will be handling them anyway! Saves me trying to get them all straight!

@Hannihar I'm not sure if all of Australia has stopped the whole clock change thing but I at least know that it is not being done anymore here in Western Australia. Which is awesome. Daylight Savings was just getting annoying.

most of my clocks are automatic, but there are a couple of have to switch. I forgot this year and sat there figuring out how I was already an hour late.

That is smart to have automatic clocks that turn the way they should be. That happened to me one year that I forgot to turn our clocks and was late.

That is a good idea Scott and it is not hard to forget to turn them back or forward whichever the case.
