I hate winter (different, snowfall, days, most) - Weather -Temperature, sun, sunlight, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, climate, forecasts, humidity, heat, snow... - Page 28 - City-Data Forum

Yeah but at least the days are getting longer now, another month and the clicks go forward too

No.

Hate that, Hate the clocks going forward. Waste of my life, in high summer it is bright here most of the day and night so putting it forward is pointless. It takes me like 3 weeks to get used to it and every time I get up I am groggy. GMT will do.

Only two weeks for us.

Then we'll have 7 pm sunsets!

Right now sunset is at 5:34 pm.

We're at 5.32pm here. I've said before that when I rule this country British Summer Time will begin on the last Sunday in February (i.e. today) instead of in five weeks' time at the end of March, but that would mean a 7.56am sunrise today and ideally I want to avoid anything post-7.30am as much as possible, so changing over when you do in two weeks' time would be a nice compromise: 7:25-18:57 as opposed to 6:25-17:57. Anybody want to vote for me?

5:42 here.

And a side note, I googled "sunset time" and the first thing to pop up was the sunset time and the name of my town. A little unsettling seeing as I didn't enter the name of my town or the zip code.

Sunrise at 6:44

It knows your ip address. If you go on an Iphone and turn on googlemaps it can see were you are.

I have done it on flights and it works really well.

The sunset is later here.

5:53pm.

Clearly shows that you are the eastern-side of timezone and i'm on western.

I could never understand SOME Minnesotans who say they would not want to winter in Arizona because everything is dead and brown.

Compared to soil that has solid frost 4-5 ft deep and snow on the ground ?

A white, snowy landscape looks serene, not dead. Plus more activities can be done in snow than in mud or dust.
