[joeybee12]

I hate this time of year!!!!!!!!!!

I miss summer already!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meshuga]

1. I don't like the fact that it gets dark early but

I dig the first day of standard time since you have an extra hour on the weekend.

[kalian]

2. Oh come now....

The Rockies are for WINTER! ;)
I love this time of the year.

3. Good for early risers.... at least for a few days

I like to walk early mornings and it was fully light at 6AM.

Won't last long, though....

4. The first month is awful!

By December you're already so into the holidays you don't notice.

5. In Barrow, Alaska near Prudhoe Bay, the sun sets and doesn't come

back for six weeks. :)

[joeybee12]

7. Yeah, but in the summer it never sets!!!!!!!!!

I was there one July--screwed up my sleeping pattern.

6. Daylight Savings time is unnatural

It's typical of the promises made by politicians. "Vote for this and you'll get one extra hour of daylight!" No such thing as a free lunch, but there's another one born every minute.

:silly: Hmmm. One more hour of daylight every night

:think: Wait a minute, we'll get one less hour in the morning. I vote NO.

8. The first day is nuts

I keep thinking it's later than it is. I want to cook dinner at 5:00, but I'll force myself to wait.

9. Oh be serious people

There are always 24 hours in a day

Get an education for heavens sake and stop all this silliness.

[zubeneshamali]

11. Amen!

Nothing significant has changed between yesterday and today. Well, there might be one or two minutes less daylight because of the upcoming Solstice, but that's it.

People are lemmings to their clocks rather than letting nature (the sun) steer their course.

10. Same in Chicago.

I miss Daylight Savings. Also summer. Winter in Chicago is hell.

12. In the winter the front range grows dark and cold

when the sun sinks behind the flatirons.

[joeybee12]

13. Yup!!!

I want to go to bed already!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Lone Liberal]

15. Spring comes late in the high country.

14. Dark and cold, ha!

Of all the places I've lived in personally, Boulder had by far the best climate. Sure, it snowed in the winter, but usually it would warm up to 60 degrees a couple of days later and melt completely off. I could spend more time outdoors with my young children than I could anywhere else, especially Phoenix, Arizona, where it was too freaking HOT nine months of the year.

As for snow, having originally lived in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, I did not consider the snow in Boulder to be sufficient, or long lasting enough to bother buying my kids a sled in the winter.

16. There have been times in Boulder

That I thought the ass was frozen totally off.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Come to Chicago in January

if you want your ass frozen off.

[dofus]

18. Even Minnesota in winter

was a wimp compared to my part of upstate New York.

[Malva Zebrina]

19. Heh

I hate this myself--damn it--at 3:30 here in Maine, it is already getting dusk and people are getting into their pajamas. LOL I hate this. It takes a lot of concentrated fortitude to get past this dark and dreary time. But, the fall weather here has been absolutely stunning.
