Reply to comment by Azr431 in Really don't feel like ending daylight savings in 3 weeks by overdoing_it

Standard time all year would have sunrise at like 3:30am in the summer and set at 8. We're over an hour ahead of Ohio and other western parts of the Eastern timezone for sunlight. So yes, DST all year or Atlantic time without daylight savings, it would be the same thing other than naming.

It would be 4:30 at it's earliest, and yes, that's early, but that's just how it is this far north. What you're also not considering is this doesn't just affect NH, it's everyone globally in each zone.

Civil twilight starts 4:30am in late June which is about the time people would say it's getting light out. Actual sunrise is 5am by which time it's fully bright.

But anyway if the compromise was no more daylight savings but standard time all year, I'd still take it to avoid the clock changes.
