For most people at 2am... set your clocks back one hour before bed tonight.

I can't wait for my time to be changed tonight, so that I feel that the time gets a little longer as usual. I love having my time to be long. California is one of the states that has a longest time.

I thought the day we change times was changed from October to January? :confused:

I'll enjoy the extra hour. :D

I thought the day we change times was changed from October to January? :confused:

I don't think they totally decided on that yet. I was hearing about that, too, how there was talk of extending daylight savings so it would be daytime longer so we wouldn't have to use as much electricity.

No

In 2007, we will go to Standard Time a week later(1st Sunday in November) and back to DST the second Sunday in March(3 weeks earlier than now).

It's actually Daylight Saving Time. And I hate when it ends, then it will be dark at like 5 pm.

I like it the way it is now. How it changes right before Halloween so it's dark at 6 pm and the kids can start their trick or treating earlier in the evening.

I hate Standard Time.

Sunset tonight: 6:53pm
Sunset tomorrow: 5:52pm :(

I'm not up early in the morning so I don't care about the extra hour then. I'll be sleeping. :lol:

I set my clocks back this afternoon. I always do it early so that I won't forget!:lol:

If I do that to a clock I look at all the time, I get confused, :lol:.

I did set my car clock back already though.

Yup, I agree! Trick or treating in the dark is always so much fun! Something spooky and magical there! Yeah!

Noo. I HATE it when it gets dark earlier.

I am so confused. How the heck can the government control when it gets dark out?

:confused: I am so lost here. Doesn't every state have 24 hours?

Plus your profile says Maryland.

To those of you complaining about a 5:30/6:00 local time sunset: Stop

Sunset tomorrow: 4:45 PM

Yeah that sucks being on the east end near a time zone change.

I used to. I'm JUST on the western edge of the Eastern time zone. All of Alabama is on Central, but since we're a border town(with one being in Georgia, which is on Eastern), we're on Eastern. I like it a lot better.

Yeah, I would rather be on the western end of the Eastern than the eastern end of the Central.

I'm in Central, 45 minutes away to the east from the Mountain zone line...I wonder if that's a good or bad thing.

Sunset tonight: 6:31pm
Sunset tomorrow: 5:30pm
Sunset Monday: 5:29pm

Hmmm...damn.

I'm really confused. How exactly does the time change work? I'm usually asleep during these, but I want to watch something later. At two it'll be one again....?

I know if you live on the East Coast at 2am it will become 1am.

It changes at 2am for everyone(i.e. 2am for Eastern and 2am Pacific). At 1:59:59am it'll go back to 1:00:00am again.

It's better than being on the eastern edge of it... you have 45 extra minutes in the evening(at least), your farther north so it may be slightly bigger than that.

In Green Bay, WI(near the Eastern edge of Central), the sunset time is 4:45pm tomorrow, so consider yourself lucky.

The bad thing is the Winter Solstice isn't until December 21st.

1:59:59am and then 1:00:00am

Too cool. :lol:

The bad thing is the Winter Solstice isn't until December 21st.

The earliest sunset is actually around December 8th.

Testing post times

The earliest sunset is actually around December 8th.

It's the 13th here, but the sun still keeps rising later making the day even shorter:(.

Yes... the first day of Winter is the shortest day of the year, but the earliest sunset is earlier.

My earliest sunset: 5:33pm on December 4th and 5th. 5:34pm surrounding that until the 12th.

Shortest days of the year here:

December 16th(7:36am-5:35pm)
December 17th and 18th(7:37am-5:36pm)
December 19th and 20th(7:38am-5:37pm)
December 21st and 22nd(7:39am-5:38pm)
December 23rd and 24th(7:40am-5:39pm)
December 25th and 26th(7:41am-5:40pm)
December 27th and 28th(7:42am-5:41pm)
and then they start to get longer...

I <3 Daylight Savings Time! :biglove: :woohoo:

Damn it, I hate it. It's only 5:44 and it's already almost PITCH black out!!

It's dark out. Blah. I want to go to sleep. :rolleyes:

It's dark out. Blah. I want to go to sleep. :rolleyes:
I know, its so depressing.

Us Vampires like the dark. :D

Days don't need to be shorter! I barely have enough time as it is!!!!:rolleyes: pissed: :racist:

I know, its so depressing.

Really depressing :( I can't wait for it to end.

I know, its so depressing.

I am so sleepy and it's freaking 8:45pm. :mad:

I <3d my extra hour of sleep though....

I changed my clocks back to 1 hour this morning. To me, it reminds me of the song from "Fiddler on the Roof". "Sunrise, Sunset".

Now I have to go home from work in the fricken dark. pissed:

I was up most of the night last night with a horrendous tooth ache. Instead of an extra hour of sleep, I got an extra hour of pain :(

Well, at least it'll actually be light out when we have to get outside for work at 6:30 in the a.m.

I <3d my extra hour of sleep though....

I was up for it. :lol: First time I've ever been up to see the 1am hour twice. :p

I was up for it. :lol: First time I've ever been up to see the 1am hour twice. :p
I was up for it too. Then I ended up staying up until 4am.

Now I have to go home from work in the fricken dark. pissed:
I have to go to school in the dark on Mondays - Wednesdays now. :mad: Mondays and Wednesdays are my night classes and Tuesdays...I get done at 4:50pm. BOO! :mad:

:confused: I am so lost here. Doesn't every state have 24 hours?

My cousin used to live in Indiana and she told us that they don't do Daylight Savings time there anymore, so even though they're in the Eastern Time Zone when Daylight Savings time comes they're an hour behind us. I'm not sure if all of Indiana does it or not though.

Most of Indiana(except the NW corner near Chicago) does that. HOWEVER, the day is still 24 hours long. :p

I'm pretty sure the SE side by Cincinnati has DST also.

And if you really want to get confused...

http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html

What time will it be in 2006?

Most Hoosiers expected that, effectively, the 77 counties which now stay on Eastern Standard Time 12 months would change to DST along with five other Indiana counties and the rest of the US next Spring. The petitions to US DoT were to determine whether that DST would be Eastern Daylight or Central Daylight.

If Eastern, then it was expected that Indiana would have at least those 77 counties, plus the 5 near Louisville and Cincinnati (82) on Eastern Daylight. If Central, then the 77 would join the current 5 around Evansville and the 5 near Chicago (87) on Central Daylight.

"At least" because the US DoT may decide that leaving the 10 on Central (if the state goes Eastern) or leaving the 5 on Eastern (if the state goes Central) would be violations of the "one zone per state" guideline. Thus, it is possible that by next Spring all 92 counties will be either Eastern Daylight or Central Daylight.

However, the federal government proposed Tuesday, October 25, 2005, that five (5) additional counties switch to Central time, while twelve (12) others which had petitioned for a change remain in the Eastern time zone. This would divide Indiana into 77 counties (the 77+5-5) on EST/EDT and 15 (10+5) on CST/CDT.

US DoT is recommending that Knox, Perry, and Pike counties near Evansville in the southwest corner of the state, and St. Joseph and Starke counties in the northwest corner be added to the ten (10) Indiana counties already in the Central zone. Ironically, Starke had originally been designated Central in 1966 until three petitions finally resulted in a move in 1991 of Starke to the Eastern zone. If this holds, it would return to its 1966 time zone.

In the Chicago area, DoT denied requests from Fulton, Marshall and Pulaski counties to move to Central. While Elkhart asked to stay Eastern, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels said it would not be economically workable to separate Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, leaving Elkhart in the "possible" column.

Requests from the Lafayette area by Carroll, Cass and White counties were denied by DoT. Tippecanoe asked to remain Eastern, while Benton and Fountain had petitioned to change to Central and then withdrew their requests.

In the Terre Haute area, Vigo County on the Indiana-Illinois border had asked to remain Eastern, but Sullivan and Vermillion counties wanted to move to Central.

Near Evansville, DoT denied requests by Daviess, Dubois and Martin while adding Perry and Pike to the five (5) already Central. Orange asked to remain Eastern. Farther north, near Bloomington, Lawrence County's request to be Central was denied.

When officials in Allen County (Fort Wayne) and Marion County (Indianapolis) asked to stay Eastern, other counties in those areas followed suit.

And if you really want to get confused...

My head...

damn...I'm not moving to Indiana.

I HATE this time change. I just hate it getting dark so darn early. Grr. It's just such a throw-off when the clocks are changed.

I can't even COMPREHEND that article, LOL. Sorry for being dense but is it suggesting we KEEP this time change? If so... NO WAY am I for that.

I wish they would make it so ALL of North Dakota is in the Central zone. 3/4 of North Dakota is in the Central zone and a pathetic 1/4 of it is in Mountain, and I happen to live 45 minutes away from the Mountain/Central line...I am very luckily on the Central side of the line...However, it is VERY irritating that I live so close to another timezone because that means websites like Yahoo TV screws up my timezone. :rolleyes: Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I think they want Indiana to start doing like the rest of us do... Standard Time for November-March and DST for March-October. They also want more counties moved to Central time(don't ask me why).

It's already Standard Time all year there, meaning the sun sets an hour earlier in the evening in the SUMMER.

All my TV listings are in Central time but I'm on Eastern time.

:cuss:

It's getting dark already...and I'm still at work. pissed: Bah Humbug.

Its pitch black outside here now.
