Well just checked dateandtime.com and it looks as if I was right. Summertime starts march 13 most places in US. So for those who live in places where summertime has not yet started, deadline for checkout will be an hour earlier.
People in US (well, some) want more daylight on the golf courses I think they should abolish the archaic, abominable practice. Daylight savings time, that is. Golf, they can too if they want.
Someone in one forum put up a Meme suggesting that if they have to put the clocks forward they should do it at 4pm on Friday rather than in the middle of the night at a weekend, when everyone is asleep.
Asleep? Isn't there a law or something that says you MUST get up and manually set the clocks at that exact time?
Well I cheated and replaced all my clocks with radio controlled ones, which worked fine until we moved into a 19th century stone cottage with 18 inch thick walls. Now we have to make sure that all clocks have a direct line of sight to a window.
Daylight Savings Time has kicked in. Spring ahead one hour.
Speaking of summer time, I seem to recall that when the clocks go forward where I am (UK so in two weeks time) I need to change a setting in my profile to get the right time on forum posts? I just looked through my profile but can't see anywhere to change the time zone settings - help please?
I think Day;ight savings time is a joke. I mean, with the whole world being so interconnected and US the only country doing this, it's really gotta be a PITA for businesses in other countries trying to deal with us.
Now that all our clocks are an hour ahead, we should just set them back 1/2 hour and leave it there all year round.
I think you are remembering that one from the last iteration of the fourm
When I was working I always hated going to British summer time. I found it difficult enough getting up in the morning to go to work, and then they suddenly say you have to do it an hour earlier!
And it was a nightmare when I was working at an airport on a flight information system. The airfield ops people were always on GMT but the information desk and the public displays were on local time. So you had to have code that said things like, you show this flight to airfield ops as scheduled at 10:00, and if it is before the time change it's the same everywhere, but if it's after the time change you move it to 11:00 but only for public displays and certain users.
Also, we had a switch in the software for British summer time that was supposed to activated automatically. But if you were on out of hours support that night you dreaded the late night call saying it hadn't worked.
In Utah, a winter storm warning is in effect until Tuesday at 4PM MDT.
So much for Summer. (Though it appears to be for the higher elevations. LOL)
Funniest thing I ever had with clock change when I was working was when I was in Contract services, working for the Royal Parks. One of my playground attendants had forgotten to change her clock, and turned up at work an hour late on the Sunday to find not me, but the Park Manager sitting there, having opened the playground himself. All Playgrounds had to be attended or they weren't opened. Fortunately for her (or was it unfortunate) The Park manager lived right by the Children's playground. When it came to the Autumn change she was duly reminded not to forget this time. Silly person put her clock forward again, got into work, opened the playground at 8:00am and sat there for 2 hours wondering why she had no children coming in to play. It took her ages to live that one down.
Since I usually shop right before midnight (Utah midnight that is), this very nearly would have cost me my shot at the catch-up sale. Luckily I just so happened to check Utah time due to a weird feeling in my gut and *bam* day saved. Thanks, gut!
I don't mind the clock change so much anymore, but when I worked late night shifts, I always managed to get scheduled to work during clock changes. Somehow, I still had to work that hour we lost and I never got to quit early that hour we gained! My pay never changed either!
not just the US

Still the idea is outdated and should be eliminated. The health problems caused by circadian rhythm disruption alone are a great reason to chuck daylight saving time
Europe! what does you guys know about Daylight savings? If it was up to you guys we'd have 10 days a week and hours would be measured in hectares.
All I know is I get to leave work an hour early - and that's 13,000,000 hectares or 45 pints of lager or something...
...wow I wish we had a real Scottish Pub over here I could go for 45 pints of larger and a the inside of sheeps stomach!!!
U S A ! ! !
U S A ! ! !
No in a Scottish pub, if you want to fit in you ask for a hauf an a hauf (half and half). Failing that you need a few pints of Heavy. lager? hmmph pig swill. Real ale or bitter, that's what puts hairs on your chest.
We used to change time on the last Sunday of March and October but I believe just last year the law was changed to make make the time shift two weeks earlier. They first tried to get the Earth to change it's declination angle but the environmentalists objected.
Heaven forbid that we should interfere with the congress making changes to this law. It's about the only thing they've agreed on in the last 15 years. They need the practice.
Actually, DST is not outdated at all, rather there is a growing group of people who would like to keep Daylight Savings Time ALL year. No jumping forward or back, and more evening hours in the winter. Winter is depressing enough, it is even more depressing that it gets dark at 5 PM. Plus longer evening hours in the summer help get kids and people outside and active longer, something we would be throwing away if we banned DST completely.
Having it all year would correct the disruption issues. As well as much of the confusion when communicating with other countries that don't use it.
George Eastman tried to convince the US to switch to a 13 month 28-day calendar it was really all very rational and sensible. :(
At least we weren't around for the switch from Julian to Gregorian
Ah, that is possible.
But how does the current forum version know what time it is where I am? The timestamps I see on the posts all line up with UK time, so it must be getting my location from somewhere? What if I decide to retire to the south of France? (An hour ahead of my current position)
I don't like daylight savings time. I like it when it gets dark at 5 p.m. My normal nighttime rhythems kick in. Denise
We should petition for moonlight savings time. Sunlight is vastly overrated and quite painful.
Wow, I got today's DAZ newsletter 4 (four!) hours earlier than usual. Nice. Summertime is here! :)
What does daylight saving have to do with summer? It's not even spring yet.
The US government and it's attempts to legislate daylight. Gotta love it.
It isn't just the Americans. Time shifting is in many countries that have governments who feel they have the right and power to move daylight around. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2016.html
They should be careful pulling in so many directions, they'll tear it!
That makes sense especially with inexpensive LED lighting but move it back 30 minutes and leave it be because it's safer going to the bus to school in daylight. Of course if they got rid of those ridiculous 3 and even 4 hour days some children spend on school busses to take them to some school full of strangers 50 miles away then that'd be less of a problem.
