Ten weeks until Daylight Savings Time Ends 🌇

|

As the countdown begins towards the conclusion of daylight saving time in ten weeks, a somber reality takes shape. The anticipation of more daylight in the early morning hours is contrasted by the grim prospect of darkened evenings, commutes in dark.

The shift signifies a trade-off: while mornings may offer a temporary reprieve from the encroaching darkness of winter, the trade-off comes in the form of darker evenings that hinder outdoor activities and makes for darker evenings.

Sunset on November 5th is 4:45 pm.
