It's super depressing in December and January when you get up to go to work in the dark, and by the time you get out at 5, it is pitch dark again.

I do wish we'd fallen back earlier, like we used to. I'd much rather have that extra hour of daylight in the morning when I could maybe use it, rather than on my commute home.

Yeah, you know where I live, as I recall? You should come visit. ;-)

Anyhow, we'd have to throw the clock off a full two hours to get any benefit. It's just getting light at 0700 and already getting dark at 1600 - during the shortest days. Daybreak was at about 0700 today, maybe later. It is raining. I couldn't tell and I didn't look online,

I agree, I used to start for work at 6:30 AM and by 4, it'd be pitch dark again. Super Depressing.
