I, too, am a fan of DST.

Didn't Pres Nixon make it year around during the oil crisis in the 70s? I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade that year -- I remember waiting for the school bus in the dark and cold that winter.

Oakleaf, you're fine! It's actually only on the threads where folks are lamenting the cold/snow, then someone chimes in with it being 50 degrees and dry. And complaining about it. Believe me, I would LOVE to have 40 degree weather to ride in or even above 32 degrees. Since I ride before work, I'm out in the coldest part of the day (it's dark, too).

I enjoy reading about people who are riding---the southern California gals, in particular. But they keep those threads separate from the winter weather threads. That way, if you don't want to read about someone being out while you're stuck inside on the trainer, you can skip those them.

But there's hope. Looks like things are going to warm up here, at least temporarily, for the next week.
