I love DST but it seems weird setting the clocks up when there is

7" of drifting snow, 18 degrees temperature and 30 MPH winds.

1. Funny. I was getting the same feeling

2. You love it?

I’m sure I can find something equally as pointless that I’m fond of but why is this in particular so special to you?

Or so that's the story I heard.

So get out there and barbecue!

4. I used to HATE DST

I started work at 5:30 and hated losing that morning light.

Now that I'm retired, it's hardly noticeable. I've already re-set my clocks.

Since I wait until it's light outside to feed the ferals, they might be a touch miffed about the delayed breakfast, tomorrow morning.

5. I hate messing with the clocks...Often I make mistakes. The clocks seem to depend on me...?

DST is a trick just to get people to buy more clocks and batteries to run the... ...

6. I like DST, pina coladas, pineapple on pizza and non alcoholic beer

and hummus around the clock

7. Yes but March snow never lasts very long

We got about 4" overnight, and I'll bet most of it will be gone by tomorrow.

8. I woke up last night, looked out the window,

and thought it was daytime already, but my clock said it was 2:00 am. Then I realized that there was snow coming down so thickly that the sky looked lighter as the glow from streetlights filtered through the white air.

It seems that there is always a snowstorm in mid March before the weather starts getting more springlike. Not that we don't get snow after mid March, but usually by that time, it's a fleeting flurry or two.

DST cheers me up after winter doldrums. I like having sunlight for an hour longer on spring and summer evenings.

9. Where are you that you are getting such weather?

Sounds like upstate NY or even further west, like Buffalo.

10. Sounds like you're having the same weather we're having here

Here in Northeastern New York, it's the second snowstorm for the week - the last one was Thursday. And on Monday we also had a windstorm, branches down all over. Driving home was like an obstacle course. At least we didn't lose power, some did. I am so ready for Spring, but Spring isn't ready for the Northeast.
