It's Such Terrible Time of Year.....
I get bummed out this time of year. It is dark when I get home from work and all I can do is go out to the shop after dinner.
 It is too dark to cut firewood, etc. No snow yet to shovel , but it will be coming shortly.  Alll I can do is work in the shop.

For me there's three scenarios:
Either it's too hot and humid... It's too dark and cold... Or the third scenario is when the weather is "just perfect", but then there's always something else going on where you can't be at home working...

I know what you mean. I wish daylight savings time had never been enacted here in Michigan. I'd much rather have an extra bit of light AFTER work. Oh well, so it goes. Hope you have a pleasant winter up there...I love the UP, particularly the Keewanaw Pennisula. Unfortunately, except for vacation time, I'm banished to be a troll under the bridge.

Uh...DST means you have an extra hour of daylight in the evening during the summer If we had DST year round, you would have that extra hour. But it just ended.

Rich;
Enjoy each day now, no matter what. It won't be long till you're up to your hips in snow. According to the weather maps, you're getting some today.

Yeah brain fart time for me. I guess for me the issue is when we return to regular EST in the fall, and the light at 7 pm was yesterdays 8 pm light, it messes me up for a week . Same with 'springing forward' to DST in the spring, it takes a few days to adjust. I guess the short daylight hours is the underlying thing here and there sure isn't much to do but roll with the season... or hibernate.
