Massachusetts is considering leaving the Eastern Time Zone

Live in Fairbanks, Alaska. There is no way this system would be feasible at northern latitudes. The days get longer/shorter at a rate of ~7 min. a day. Instead of an hour time change twice a year, it would be equivalent to an hour time change once a week. (and in december, it would get dark at 11:30am)

Go north enough (or south enough) and you get this as part of your winter time weather forecast:

Sunrise: January 29th

Oh, and November 19th in Barrow would be ~1,560 hours long, and you would you just skip those 65 days? Or you could have November 20th in Barrow while it is different dates in other parts of the world?
