You just described my life today, although I'm not quite as far north as you previously were. The Christmas lights get me through the holiday season, but after that I look for nothing more than those few extra minutes of light each day.
Wasn't it back in the early to mid 70's that we had a year or so of not changing the clocks? I remember being in college at the time and walking to morning classes in the dark. Although, I would prefer we did stay on daylight savings time, I can see for that reason why some wouldn't like it for school age children.
