Also very true. Permanent DST is best option for several reasons.

No one talks about the 3 am sunrise in summer if we do standard time. We also lose the 9:30 pm sunsets.

This has been fixed. Every model/ensemble should show it going forward, although it will require a fresh run to be built (in most cases the 12z run) before it's reflected on the map. The only two models that won't have it are the NAM which I am going to remove from the site and NBM MSLP which is not available from the source data.

That is the other excuse I always hear... kids will go to school in the dark. That was always the case for our kids growing up anyways. Changing the clock doesn't magically make the days longer. Its pretty dark in the winter. Just throw us bone with longer evening daylight so people have the option of doing something outside after work in the winter like exercising without being in total darkness before 5 p.m.

I prefer standard time. But whatever they decide, pick one and stick to it
