I know this isn't helpful, but I can't help but say after last summer, I will never look forward to the end of winter. Too many sleepless nights due to heat/humidity, too many walks/hikes not taken because just going to the mailbox made me feel like I'd pass out, too much wildlife all out of whack because of drought, etc.
So, yeah, I'll take it being dark between 4pm-7am over between 11pm-4am and being a bit chilly and having to do some shoveling and white knuckle driving every now and then over that shyt any day. Then again, I don't live in Buffalo.
