As I sit here is the darkness of an early January morning I couldn't help but to think about Daylight Saving Time. Is it too soon to wonder when we can enjoy longer periods of sunlight in New York? I was almost afraid to look because it's arrival might be too far away. Not true! There is hope.

Daylight Saving Time is when we get to move the clocks forward one hour. So, with sunset currently expected at 4:56pm, if the time change were today, sunset would be at 5:56pm. That sounds a whole lot better to me and it's less than 2 months away.

I had always heard that Daylight Saving Time was enacted to help farmers. Turns out farmers were strongly against "springing forward and falling back" from the start. Enough of a history lesson. Let's see when we move the clocks forward in 2025.
