4:41 PM and it's dark in Boston.

[unhappycamper]

You might find a bit of a pinkie in the next few minutes. Maybe. Did I mention I don't like wintah?

[berni_mccoy]

1. yes. it sucks. East end of the time-zone. I love wintah.... hate the darkness.

[Captain Hilts]

2. I'll trade. I LOVE winter!

[cali]

3. it's such a bloody drag. And here in the Kingdom

it's going to be in the teens tonight.

[NNN0LHI]

4. Still a bright sunny day here near Chicago

54 degrees.

I don't mind winter. I like watching the seasons change.

It will be spring before you know it. Then you will forget all about winter.

5. It's my signal that it's time to start getting in shape for

SKI SEASON!!!

8. I usta ski until I blew a knee out in Kitzbuhl.

Perhaps that's why I am no longer a fan of wintah.

[HughMoran]

6. Yeah, thanks for reminding me

:(

Worst time of year.

[Warpy]

7. Wintah is wicked bad

I worked rotating shifts for a while. There were times I'd wake up and the clock would say 5:00 and I wouldn't have a clue whether it was morning or evening until I went out and flipped on the TV.

Working 8 to 5 in Boston in the wintah sucks.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. It's not even wintah for another month

This is an awesome time of year, especially this time of night.

10. No matter how many winters

I've been through, I just can't get used to the darkness. It really does feel like we've added another hour...the evenings before bedtime seem endless.

I hate winter. The darkness and cold, I mean.

Snowstorms themselves are pretty neat. Especially if one is snug and cozy inside with a roaring pellet stove fire and lots of hobbies to stay busy with. :)

[no limit]

11. Now if we could just find where the sun goes each night we might be able to stop this.

[unhappycamper]

14. Go

West South young man.

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. They fired a rocket into it. It is gone. Didn't ya hear ?

That's way it got dark.

[bigtree]

12. golden time

[redqueen]

13. What's a pinkie?

I assume you don't mean a little finger.

I love winter, but heh, I'm in Texas. :)

[unhappycamper]

15. A pinkie is when you launch an airplane off a carrier and all you see

is a tiny pink line on the horizon.

[Motown_Johnny]

16. 5:04 in Detroit and still light out.. west side of time zone rules

[WilliamPitt]

17. Nice sunset tonight, tho

Yeah, I just turned on all the lights here. Boston in winter is a dark place to be.

[unhappycamper]

18. Hey man.

I was looking for you on City Hall Plaza. n/t

[WilliamPitt]

20. Had to write.

Couldn't be helped.

[Forkboy]

19. I can't wait for winter.

Summer is deadly to me. How people can live down South is beyond me. Even Boston is too hot for me. Hudson Bay here I come! :)

[endless october]

21. switching back to EST for four months is stupid.

leave DST in place during the winter. it would eliminate a lot of annoying clock switching if we never fell back.

[Warpy]

29. Suburban parents whine that the kiddies have to wait

for the school bus in the dark.

Solution: reschedule school opening an hour later. Teenagers would love it.

[NYC_SKP]

22. I'm in Cabo, still plenty of light and quite comfortable.

J/K! I'm at home in N. California.

Somebody's gonna chime in, though, and they'll be in some fabulous warm place, like Rio, where it's summer.

:P

[lonestarnot]

23. My least favorite season, plus it makes me ache.

[-..__...]

26. It's times like these I wish I had a Halliburton Weather Machine.

70 - 80 year round, slight ocean breeze and not an Autumn leaf or snowflake in sight. :smoke:

[Mari333]

24. sigh. I know. I feel like Persephone trudging into the Underworld every yr this time

dark. Im too old to be introspective. I hate winter.

[-..__...]

25. 53 years living in the Northeast...

and if I never see a single snowflake again, or another day when it's below 65, I'll die a happy man.

[JanMichael]

27. It is the result of Global Time Shifting. Soon it will be dark 24hrs/day.

Due to the overuse of computer and digital clocks.

Seriously, it is.
