It takes me 30-60 min to get ready for work with eating and everything so if I got up at 8, I would not be starting working until 9....which is 2 hours later than reality.  LOL.   A lot of larger companies that have WFH have software checking that the employee is present and working as early as usual. 

From the time I get out of bed to getting in my car is about 10 minutes. I eat breakfast (granola bars and juice) at my desk and take care of overnight emergencies first (did the Euro move north, south, east, or west, and what did the 6z NAM show) before moving on to less important, work-related activities.

My WFH phone alarm is set for 8 a.m. 

On a typical work day I've got a good 2-3 hours in already. I'm almost always the first in the office, but HR people typically are lazy.

Not at all, I was reporting a low number.  I was surprised that it was only 52 at that point.  It feels it out as well.    But we know that general area south of Harrisburg went all HIA this past summer :-). 

Yeah, I was shocked when you reported the 52. I had to do some quick checks to make sure that I was in line with other readings. I'm at 65 now.

It can snow in May as well. 

It sure can.  

It feels more like a gorgeous May day out there today.

Y'all are getting a head start on your summer HIA thing.  LOL.  Actually if you look on Wunderground your temp is pretty common.  MDT's is low and I am sitting at 800' so...

Were you thinking that I, of all people, was reporting inflated numbers?

MDT at 56.    54 here now. 

64 at home, 63 at MU. 

It's been interesting to read the thoughts of you who have shared about the time change issue. There is a lot that could potentially be impacted if there's a change. I think it's great that while there are some on both sides of the ledger, everyone has been respectful of the thoughts of each other.

Only 52 here right now.  Much cooler than yesterday at this time. 

Holy cow - 62.2 in the historic district. 70 should be a lock unless clouds spoil the party this afternoon.

Some talk in schools about doing their own changes.  School starts at one time during the winter and a different time in the fall and spring. 

That's an interesting concept. Flexibility...

I know when i coached, we practiced until dark. Our fields locally do not have lights and our games pushed darkness. 

I personally like DST, i know many don't. In the Spring/Summer i am outside most nights until dark. But as someone above said, we are resilient, i will adjust if we stay standard 

We had many a baseball game get suspended due to early darkness, particularly April games. For someone who had 2 sons play from the time they were 5 and right through high school, my omission of this fact is embarrassing. 

I was fixated on darkness in December.

either way you look at, someone or something will be affected. As an example, if we don't "spring" ahead, youth sports will take a hit

That's a great point.

To me, it doesn't matter about daylight savings or not. This matters to me the most. 

 

 

Snow business is a selfish business.

Thank god. It sucks losing an hour of daytime in the evening. I'd much rather have the sun rise later in the morning since most people are sleeping away that daylight anyway and can't spend that time outside

Hmm - on Sundays, I MIGHT sleep until 7:30 - 8:00, but the rest of the week I'm up between 4:30 and 6:00am. When I leave for work my I always notice multiple people in my neighborhood in the process of leaving as well. 

By the time the elementary bus comes at 8:15, the neighborhood is a ghost town.

I thought I was the only one. There’s just something nostalgic about it.

Oh my goodness no. In the grand scheme of life, this isn't that big a deal...but yet it kind of is. It's very nostalgic - you know when it's dark before 5pm that it's likely between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Definitely adds something special to the season. 

70 for the high here. Boo to DST. I will greatly miss pre-5pm sunsets leading up to Christmas.

Just now, canderson said:

68 out - might get 3 70s this week. I think that'll shatter a record for most 70s as of St Patrick's Day for MDT. 

68 here as well - though there are some clouds moving in now.

Gonna count that as 4th day of snow?  :-) 

Well it is a fresh covering...

36 not so cold degrees.  Snow's last stand day here. 

32 here this morning. Had an ever-so-thin layer of frost on my snowmelt mud. LOL

Is that bell that rings after free throws in Philly a simulation of the liberty bell?  I kept meaning to ask.

No, but some sort of personality rings the liberty bell prior to the starting lineups. They haven't got around to asking me yet. 

High today was 60. Only snow remaining is where it drifted on back roads. 

Sun-splashed skies and 57.

Winter far from over.

Well I wouldn't say "far" but I really do think there's a chance for one more event.

I was just going to post that my snow is going to make it today.  Surprised a bit.  Still snow on the driveway actually.  I had some more to spare though.  LOL   45 degrees.    It will be gone tomorrow or Wed.   Excuse the screen.  Not going outside at the moment. 

Is that the Rouzerville Pike? 

49 and beautiful. Snow is all but gone already.
