Re: Spring forward
Not for us in AZ, the UK will be an hour further away because we don't move the clocks ahead at all.

Re: Spring forward
yep we've had it 100 here in the evenings during the summer due the high humidity, so unhealthy.

Re: Spring forward
AZ traditionally has not had DST -- the effect is not all that different on the Southern border. I have to be careful in scheduling my hearings in Arizona -- I make sure they are in the afternoon during the winter. The court is usually quite accomodating.
In the 1973, the country went back to year round DST to save energy. There was a lot of political backlash because of student in the Northern states waiting for school buses in the dark. How shocking. So it reverted back.
The new law is again an attempt to save energy. So DST starts three weeks earlier. The one week delay on the end is to avoid Halloween trick or treaters from going out in the new darkness.

Re: Spring forward
Actually, IN has two time zones. The eastern half would not go on DST, so during the summer months the entire state is on CDS or EST, depending on how you looked at it.

Another thing that is early this year is Easter apparently it won't be this early again in our lifetime
