Spring Forward / Fall Back....... still sucks....

[Wagtail]

Had a similar problem....almost got to -1C. But with a Super-human effort on my part was able to roll over and pull the covers up.

You're a Saint amongst men, Cobber. It's days like that when you hear your Mum's voice to "put a cardie on!"

I think your weather on the north Island is better then wagtails. You guys are just trying to keep it a secret so you do not have to put up with Yanks on Holiday running you off the road.:shocked:

Steve, the wife and I both about fell out of our chairs laughing at that You Tube about DST. So funny, but so true

<snert> Yeah, and come Spring you'll have to work 11 hours one night. :confused3:

I reckon all of you N.A. grumblebums are just ticked 'cause this is a sure sign that Winter is almost here... there's no going back to the halcyon days of Summer.

Whereas the looooooong days of Summer are just around the corner for me. :dance1:

Haven't had that luck yet...I switch between day and night shift every two weeks...So in the spring I wind up on days when DST kicks in...I lose an hours sleep, but work 12 hours...Can't win :laughing:

Winter here is like spring in Chicago, where I moved from. The Canadian boys are who your comment applies to :thumbsup:

I'm glad the State of Arizona does NOT do and time changes. It's the same zone all year long.

Out east I hated DST.

Ah ha... so every fortnight you experience a radical shift in personal time keeping/rhythms, making a biannual loss/gain of 1 hour pretty much moot.

(I suggest coming over to my side of the 'debate'. We can taunt the DST naysayers and laugh)
((because they're groggy from an hour's lack of sleep))
(((and they're a bunch of gurmblebums :laughing))

My 'extra' hour yesterday was devoted to changing watches and clocks.

 

[mark02tj]

TN and KY are both "split states" where part of the state is CST and the other is EST. I didn't realize that IN was also split.

Years ago, part of IN (Western) did the clock swapping thing and the other part (Eastern) did not. My business partner and I had a meeting with a new prospective client in Eastern IN (we are in Western OH) and got lost on the way there (pre-cellphone and GPS days). We arrived about 20 minutes late. Two weeks later, after the time change, we had a followup meeting. We made sure that we left in time to be there a few minutes early and.... ended up being there 1:15 minutes early since they didn't switch their clocks there! :laughing:
