Default Summertime or Wintertime

When reading in one of our thread written by Skybird, I thought

Lets make a poll to see where we fellow subsimmers stand in this question

Do you prefer Summertime ?

Or

Do you prefer Wintertime ?

Edit:
I can see I have made a little mistake Summer time is two words and so is Winter time

End of Edit

Markus

Wintertime.


I'm a quarter Swedish and sweat like the entire cast of Das Boot and Predator combined the minute it gets over 80.

Summertime, but only by a little bit. I used to joke that Utah has no spring or fall, but goes directly from summer to winter and back again. I grew up in Los Angeles, which is just the opposite. No winter, no summer, just spring and fall. Here in the desert it's always dry.

I like all seasons and their change.
However, climate change is becoming increasingly noticeable in Central Europe. We have had no winter in recent years and spring is felt to be over after a week.

Well - the "little" ice age, which has given us a stable weather for centuries, is finally over since this millennium.
It remains to be seen how everything develops...

But I think this is not the actual question @SailorSteve.
In Europe, the clock is presented in the summer by an hour deviating from the original time.

I agree, especially since he made reference to Skybird's post, but he didn't specifically mention "Clock Change", so I took him at his word, not his presumed meaning.

In reference to that question, we also have "Clock Change" here in the US, but we call it "Daylight Savings Time". And, like so many others, I hate it.

I just wanted to point that out...

Yes, the changeover to summer time is certainly quite annoying, but in the end, in my opinion, then the benefits outweigh.

Ah I see I should have mentioned this

If you prefer +1 hour all year or not.

the accuracy in this statement and its relevance to me was startling.
