johnhking1 70 #1 Posted March 13, 2021 The way I see it, we are kinda getting screwed. We turn our clocks ahead at 2 am Sunday. If we turned them ahead at 2 am Saturday we would get an extra hour of daylight on Saturday also. In the fall we turn them back at 2 am Sunday and loose an hour of daylight. If we turned them back at 2 am Monday, we would get an extra hour of daylight on Sunday and an extra hour of sleep on Sunday night. That is like 3 extra hours a year.

Yeah, and I hear that's why climate change is happening - an extra hour of sun for half the year! I mean of COURSE that's why it's getting warmer. Duh.

Don't worry; they are going to take Feb 1-7 out of the winter and move it to the summer right after July. That will cool things down as much as we want.

wmw999 2,116 #6 March 15, 2021 Oh no -- they'll be getting a welcome blast of cold right when they need it most, in the middle of the summer! It'll just suck those years it comes on Carnaval. People will have to wear fleece over their skimpy costumes. (and yes, I did check "optimist" in the poll) Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
