I didn't change my clocks back, I think that happens next week for me, but I'm over the shit. I'd love it if we could just decide to stop doing it.

However I don't want to be the developer that deals with that change.

Honestly no, though I really think this is a factor of how close to a pole you are. It's hard enough to deal with the dark coldness, not getting bright til like 10am would be even worse.

The clock doesn’t yet say it’s winter time, but Saturday hit 83°, like summer, Sunday rained all day, like Spring, and Thursdaywill be our first day below freezing, like winter

Yes we should stay in summer time. It was already getting dark super early and now it's dark at like 5pm

I'm boycotting the time switch.
Sure, the clocks show something different now. But in summer I went to sleep at 11pm, got up at 7:30 and arrived at work at 9.
Now I go to sleep at 10pm, get up at 6:30 and arrive at work at 8. I'll stay on that schedule till they switch the clocks again in spring.

I have a severe circadian rhythm disorder- yes absolutely lol, daylight savings destroys me every year

My time hasn't changed yet, but I'm not looking forward to it

I have not noticed a difference yet...

DST in the winter would suck so much. Think of all the worsened seasonal depressive disorders (aka winter depression). If the alternative would mean an increase in suicide numbers I will gladly endure the annoyance of changing my clocks twice a year.

Then again if we could abolish DST - yeah I'd be down for that. But too many people think getting rid of standard time will make our winters more like our summers. But it won't. It will make them worse. Our biology isn't meant to wake up three hours before sunrise.
