This is why any permanent DST scheme likely won't last. Most weren't alive when it was tried in 1973-74 and if anything we are all softer these days so folks will freakout with their little snowflake walking in the dark to the bus or school
Agreed but you have elementary, middle and high school...staggered start times are needed for busses. The town would have to triple its bus fleet to start everyone at 9
Not necessarily. Some years the pattern just gets stuck. I'd like to see a reshuffle at this point even if it means warmer temps-can't have snow without any precip.
my sons are in high school and they walk to the bus in the dark at 6:55am. Couldn't imagine the younger kids doing that. We don't run busses for 1/2 of an inch of snow I can't imagine younger kids going 3 months in the dark
everyone leaving. NY state is in the top 5 for population loss in the last generation...on top of that there's nothing to do up there-you are literally not near anything of interest other than snow
yeah models backed away from that pretty quickly-seems like extreme cold/heat is often overdone in the long range-another reason to not look at OP models past 5 days
