Courtesy of the end of DST, sunset here is now 4:30 pm, with 6 weeks to go until Midwinter's Day. :(

Interesting fact, midwinter and midsummer do not correspond to the earliest and latest sunrises and sunsets.

Boo. So dreary.

I honestly despise daylight savings. I know it's been lauded to offer more daylight, but it really just boils down to leaving work at night.

Ditto, but staying on standard time all year long won't fix the crux of the issue, which is winter.

Won't deny that, would love to at least get home with some daylight though, you know? Like right now I'd be able to see some road. The combo of no sun and snow just makes driving naturally claustrophobic.
