The earlier change to DST was a big hassle for me and many others who run weather stations. I know, we had plenty of time to get ready for it, but it meant renting rare equipment to upgrade the firmware inside my station console. DST was here before I could get my hands on an updater. I hope to get it fixed before the change back to standard time in the fall.
As a result, I had a software crash in the middle of the night because of the clocks getting screwy. I know the purpose of this earlier change was to save energy and money, but I'm wondering if it didn't really end up costing more as so much equipment like mine, traffic control circuits, etc. had to be upgraded or replaced.
On the brightside, I'm going to enjoy the extra light in the evening!
