Frankly, being at the extreme eastern edge of the Eastern Time Zone is a pain. I've thought that either Maine, New Hampshire, and maybe Massachusetts should remain on Daylight Savings Time as I believe it will work better for us, or that we should shift from the Eastern Time Zone to the Atlantic Time Zone and then remain on Standard Time year round.

During the winter months I end up driving to and from work in the dark. If we were on EDT or AST, I would at least get to spend some time after work before the sun sets.

But that's just me.

It's a pain having to shift times twice a year, particularly since it isn't just a matter of changing the clock. I know the feline contingent at my house remains on Eastern Feline Time and they don't care about Standard or Daylight Savings.
