What Our Senior Meteorologists Say About The Time Change
-Chris Dolce: “Those early sunsets make me frown since I enjoy daylight into the early evening. On the other hand, as a meteorologist it means we get access to fresh model data an hour earlier, and that's nice to have for examining possible forecast changes.”
-Linda Lam: “I count down to going back to standard time! The earlier sunsets are wonderful for getting cozy earlier and makes it easier to sleep. I look forward to the earlier sunrises, too. The earlier sunlight makes it easier to get moving versus the dark lasting so long in the morning.”
-Dina Knightly: “As a meteorologist who has worked early mornings for decades, I like it getting darker earlier, so it is easier to go to sleep at night. Plus people aren't outside cutting grass or making noise. Now that I have switched to a more normal shift and do not need to go to sleep as early, I am very conflicted and not sure what to do with myself!”
