It's dumb, I agree, but doing it now or April isn't going to change anything really. We are in the area of the season where it is what it is. Days get longer and it gets warmer out.
I for one wont complain about being able to being outside until 7:30 after basically being inside with cold temps and darkness around 5-530 since December.
But for each is his own.
Today is wonderful out. Heat is off, windows are open, and birds are chirping.
