Dark out

[Dave]

It is nearly 7:00 before it gets light in the morning. And it is dark by 6:30 in the evening. At the rate we are loosing daylight it will be like the north pole in about 2 weeks.

Sounds to me like you're hogging the daylight lol

Well your next door neighbors to the North are Eskimos. So you are pretty much already at the north pole.

Point taken. Although @Rancher might tell you I'm just another dang southerner.

That is true. There is a sign up on the freeway saying that you are crossing the 45th parallel which is half way between the north pole and the equator. I am south of that sign by a couple miles so I am a southerner.

Ha ha Silver yer rite! Even the Yukon territory folks say the same thang, eh

Days are getting shorter.

But you will have another hour of daylight in the morning.

@Dave ; You're right and I much prefer the morning daylight to the evening... always have. But my son hates it because of not getting off work until 4:30 so it is nearly dark by the time he gets to the barn in the evening... and it is still pretty dark in the morning. I can see his point but I sure like it better on standard time.

 

[Silver]

I like the fact that we do not change our time here.

 

[greybeard]

Time never changes...just the hands on a clock do.
What DOES irritate me and always has, is that some of the hardware, lumber and even feed stores changed their hours when the day comes to move the clock back. Crap still breaks down and the farm work still went on no matter what the dang clock hand said!!

Wish we never did it gets dark here at 5pm after changing the clocks which isn't far away now.

 

[Dave]

I doesn't matter to me. I go to bed at 10:00 and get up at 5:00. Only difference is how long I have to wait for it to get light in the morning and how long the evening is before I go to bed.
At my house in the dead of winter the sun doesn't hit the house until 10 and it goes back behind the hills at 2:00. Daylight sooner and longer but the sun is behind the hills not bright sunlight.

 

[Rancher]

Just another freakin issue we have to deal with up north

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Yes, evenings are long! before time to go to bed.

 

[Dave]

It is 7:17 AM and it is still dark out.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

I know......Hate it. But, of course, when we change the clocks, I hate the early dark evenings.

 

[1982vett]

I usually make the transition pretty easy but not looking forward to this time change as I've already been waking up a couple hours earlier than I want to. Not looking forward to another hour before bedtime either. Internal clock is all messed up!

 

[farmerjan]

I am probably the odd man out. I like standard time. I have always been a morning person... liked it when it was light early, do a day's work, come in and "quit for the night " at a decent hour . I always seem to be behind and "late" on daylight savings time.
