I think we escape the worst of it down this way, but it's late May in New England-to be expected-what sucks is that all the storms have been on weekends this spring

That's my hope. Otherwise it's a 2-3 week winter-cold air will be quite limited most likely

Nino climo maps there. But agree it's likely to be a torch

Part of the reason neither solution works-it's what we are used to for the last 60 years.

Outdoor lobby wouldn't like it-golf clubs kids sports, you name it.

I preferred the April start for the reasons you state...March is too early and like you said sunrises are late again for several weeks. Hard to imagine what sunrises on a cloudy Dec/Jan day will be like at 8:30AM or so if we stay on year round DST. Guessing it won't be popular especially with with the school crowd. Some dumb comments on social media-some people actually think there's an extra hour of light with DST. LOL

No one wants an hour less of sunlight in the evenings in the summer with that scenario. Sunset in NYC would be at 7:30 vs 8:30pm.

Nice day here 70 and sunny-of course after the holiday weekend is gorgeous.

The difference this go around it's that it's part of another bill and not a separate bill. That's how it was expanded back in 2007 to March-Nov (Added another month to DST)

And that's here. Some places in the country would be after 9am. Yep. If we do permanent DST it will last one year at best. This is why it failed in 1973-74

it's over here and the sun is trying to poke out-we're up to 60-definitely going to verify warm and dry here from here on out.

SW CT is basically Fairfield County

Close to 3 inches here-what an awful holiday weekend at least we salvage this PM to some extent.

back edge coming through here finally-that dropped another .75

Rain finally moving out-can salvage some of today but wow what an awful 3 day weekend
