I am a very early riser and find the delay in sunrise and sunset to be disrupting to my internal clock. It was barely tolerable when it started in April and ended in October. Now that it has been extended to cover over half of the year - GHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Just imagine the poor little kids having to go to bed when it's light and the morning commute in the dark. It makes no sense.

Driving at night is an adventure, so now I will have daylight till 7PM and beyond.


Where I live, buses and cars for the kids, walking to school isn't allowed, in nearly the entire county, too too much traffic.


It also means the snow from Friday, all 8 inches is nearly gone because it was 60 today.



And I am always in a better mood when it's Spring.......
