Spring forward…
…tonight.
I am so psyched!
Daylight Saving Time begins this evening—technically, tomorrow morning—at 2 AM. So set those clocks forward and enjoy the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day.

WOW..! That gorgeous yet uber chilly picture reminds me of a girl I once knew…Ahhhh, so lovely, yet so bleak…
Boing! I declared yesterday that Spring had arrived in Seattle. A winter without a snowflake has passed.
I fear we have come to an irreconcilable difference of views, Neo. I hate the switch to DST, deeply and truly hate it. Once it’s been in effect for a while, DST is ok, but I greatly resent being forced to get up an hour earlier, and it discombobulates me for several days. Here’s one of the better complaints about it.
I knew I should read here today. Thanks.
Usually I am weeks behind in this department. It can be a bit… discombobulating, not to mention a bit embarrassing.
While I look forward to more daylight in the evening, I still have to deal with the depressing sight of 14″ of new snow in my yard. Just as we got rid of the 3ft from a month ago. New England sucks! I can’t wait to retire and move anywhere with a lower latitude angle.
But…but…it means I have to get up when the clock says 4 AM but my body insists it is only 3 AM. Which any way you calculate it is about three hours earlier than I’d like to get up.
Daylight Savings time is brutal. I want to live in Arizona, or at least keep time the way they do.
Oh, shut up. 🙂
Bad enough that we have to do the “spring forward/fall back” garbage. Worse is that 6 months of this wasn’t enough for some people, or even beginning it the first weekend of April. No, they had to move it to mid-March. This makes no sense to me.
If we must have DST, can we not have it begin when we can really enjoy the shift of daylight rather than when it is barely spring? First weekend in April to first weekend in November should be good enough for most of us.
DST is… stupid. Not only is it annoying in that it screws up my personal clock, but it’s insult to injury; it’s absolutely pointless. I’m reminded of the perhaps fictional Native American quote:
“Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.”
Awesome post.
