There's a small portion of Indiana that doesn't change clocks...maybe there's a section of Arizona that is the same.

I love DST, but this change will create a LOT of short-term cost for companies, I think.

I think the whole state of Indiana now changes (I could be wrong). Until a few years ago, only a handful of counties changed time (like 15 out of 92). Then a law passed and the whole state started changing the clocks last year. The state is now divided into 2 time zones. Most follow eastern, but some do follow central (such as those near Chicago).

I enjoyed NOT changing my clocks.

I love Daylight Savings Time too. I hate winter and where I live it starts getting dark at 4 in the afternoon.

It is gonna suck to have to manually try and change all my clocks again. My VCR and bedroom clocks set automatically.

I guess based on the article my cell phone and computer should set themselves automatically.

Oh, great. Now the time difference between the US and most of Europe will be off by one hour for 5 weeks instead of 1 week.

I believe we change on the 25th March so it's only 2 weeks.

I hate it getting dark early, but in the winter hours, I find it easier to get up on time. I have a harder time adjusting to the spring forward. Must be the lost hour.

I moved to New York in the summer so the daylight thing is different here. It was still day light after 8:30pm.

It was dark with I left for work at 6:50 am now the sun is just rising. It was getting dark about 5 pm, now even with out the time change its getting dark about 5:30pm.

A co worker told me this is all normal here.
