a colleague in England tells you (in the USA) that the USA is going on Daylight Saving Time this weekend.

Oh, I've been there before but generally the information at least comes from a fellow citizen. Sheesh. Fortunately, it was via email so he couldn't see my face . . . .

For what it''s worth, The Weather Channel (www.weather.com) doesn't know it's this weekend either. They have sunrise tomorrow morning the same time as Sunday morning. That can't be right, can it?

It depends on the part of the country. Some places don't change their clocks.
I'm so looking forward to the time change.

That's hilarious. Now my head is really hurting. I just had to email the colleage about time zones.
-- Europe doesn't go on DST until March 30 (at least the colleage told me that)
-- Our main business office is in Arizona which doesn't observe DST
-- I'm not in Arizona where everyone assumes I am, so for 6 mos a year Arizona and I are on the same time zone and 6 mos a year we're not.

But the link is specific to a state that does observe DST. It's just programming! Where's that FMB?

Well, this will be interesting this year. It's just now starting to get a teenie bit lighter before the time change. Now we'll be back to lighter mornings and evenings that get darker earlier again. Hmpf!

When DST starts it will be DARKER in the AM and LIGHTER in the PM. Eventually, by the end of April, it's lighter in the AM again. I don't think it will be very dark at 7, just sorta dark.
When I commute, I have to leave at 5:45-5:55, so I can't start for about 4-6 weeks (can't put a light on my road bike).

It will be lighter in the a.m., but I suspect it will be darker earlier in the evening (initially) because as you know, you spring forward one hour. In other words, we'll be an hour closer to dark thirty right after the time change, me thinks.

I'll admit it -- you lost me on this one. (Of course, I'm blonde, so that's not so hard to do.) Originally Posted by sundial

This is a mixed blessing for me, since I'm not a morning person.
1. It won't matter to me that the mornings are darker
2. I really miss the extra hour of sleep that we give up when springing forward.
Why can't we "spring forward" during the working hours? Say 5pm on a Friday?
OTOH, for the overworked contingent, having an hour taken away during work can mean missing a deadline. Maybe we should just leave it as is.... (Like I'm Queen of the World and can decide these things...)
I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

the best way to know that is see what it is like at 6AM tomorrow (or today if you were up then). how dark is 6AM on saturday? cause that is how dark it will be at 7AM on sunday, cause on sunday you will have moved your clock ahead one hour by the time 7AM rolls around. just like i know that when i usually leave work at 7PM, this coming monday it will be as light out as it was today at 6PM, which i like.
is it really more complicated than i'm making it, cause i could be easlity missing something, wouldn't be the first time.
(and obviously this method doesn't work indefinitely, as in however dark it is at 6AM tomorrow is how dark it will be at 7AM on 1 june. just works real well for that first weekend when the clocks change.)Last edited by Possegal; 03-07-2008 at 01:53 PM.
