I live in Southeastern Kentucky. We have 4 seasons鈥攁lthough most are warmer now than when I was a child in late 鈥70s-early 鈥80s, and the seasons tend to overlap and mesh. We can have heavy snow in March or April, frost until late May, or close to 90 degree temps in November and December (and sometimes January) all in those same months having ice and snow, too!! Here the saying -if you don鈥檛 like the weather, just wait!-is engrained in all of us. The main reason I dislike Fall is the decreased sunlight. It starts in July by a few minutes until by this time of year it is dark by 8pm down from peak Summer at still some light by 9:30pm. Most days in Fall here are still very hot and by the time the end of October arrives, and it starts to really cool, it goes straight to freezing cold!!!!! But my main complaint is the shorter days. I do not like driving at night and I work generally until 6pm-8pm most days. It just means depression to me and most people I know also feel this way. We dread the time 鈥渇alling back鈥 and wish we could keep EDT as the standard time year round.
