Just 6am to 6pm all the time. I’m not a fan of it being dark at 4pm but gladly take the trade off of light at 4:30am to 8:30pm in the summer. Expand friend of mine live in Hawaii for awhile-said it was beyond boring after about a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 What sucks about the dark the most is driving. I hate driving at night and in the dark, especially if its raining. Those LED street lights are pretty useless and the highways are horrific with very few stretches with actual lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me, I’d be more upset if the standard time was abolished. I realize everyone is different, but I enjoy the early sunsets when they are here. As well as the later sunrises. Expand What would be worse is a permanent shift to DST. Sunrise wouldn't be till after 8 AM Due to the oil embargo that happened for a period of time while I was in high school. ..it was awful. On days like today it stayed dark till well past 9 Am. Kids were falling asleep in class. I have relatives who live in Ann Arbor Michigan. People there are dead set against a permanent change to DST because for part of December and January the sun would rise shortly after 9 AM. A friend lives in Marquette, there the sun would not rise until after 930 AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Ya…DST won’t be a full year thing. And that’s good. As others have mentioned, it will be the super late sunrises that will kill that idea. Elementary kids going to school in the dark in the winter isn’t gonna fly these days. I remember it as a kid one year we tried it…it never happened again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming down from a hike in ambient light at 9-9:30pm is always fun. The extra time outside after work day is key to me. Expand For me it's golf. I love playing in the evenings after work until it's too dark to see the flagstick. Hard to get 9 in after work as we move later in the month. Conversely, I like the shorter days leading into winter. It gives me a feeling of comfort that I can only think of as snug. I guess I would just say that I like seasons in season. Except for mud season, I have no use for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get too bright because I know it can be very distracting (and blinding) for other drivers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
