One of the reasons that I hate winter

The end of Daylight Savings Time. We "fell back" on Saturday night and now it is dark at like 5:30 pm. Soon it will be dark by 4. I cannot stand it. So depressing. I firmly believe in the importance of sunlight to boost mood and mental state. Having it get dark before dinner time is just insane. It is currently 6:48 pm and it looks like midnight outside. I hate it. Give me long summer nights!

Is this the last year we’ll change or is it after time change next year?

So far as I know the law has never passed. But if they do we will push our clocks forward next spring and never go backwards again. Some individual states have passed laws abolishing it. But mine is not one of them.

@porwest I think it passed the Senate but not the House or vice versa.

@NJChicaa Yeah, it's halfway there, but not finished. I guess at the end of the day there are bigger concerns. Still, it seems like such a simple thing to just do it and be done with it.

The only thing I don't like about the time change is having to drive in the dark. That is a pain in the butt, especially around here where there are no streetlights.

They need to just do away with it and be done with it. It really doesn't serve a purpose anymore.

I totally agree. Hubs can't drive at night...he does but he shouldn't...and it cancels out a lot of things we could be doing after it gets dark, like going out to eat. Hope you are having a good day.
