Doesn't DST make less light in the evening in the winter, in order to have more in the morning? It's the winter that's behind, right?
The issue is that, when political time is fixed, most people naturally develop a habit of waking up around the winter sunrise, year-round. This means that 1-3 hours of light, during the rest of the year, are "wasted".
Some anti-DST advocates have proposed making DST year-round, effectively taking the time zone that is one hour eastward. The problem is that this would put the winter sunrises into the 8:00 am hour, which people tend to like even less than a mid-afternoon sunset.
That's a fine story for little-house-on-the-prairie anecdotal value, but I wouldn't wish year-round DST on anyone. Not when you're farther north. Not when the nearest ocean not blocked by mountains is the Arctic. Winter "morning" per the DST clock is just too dark and too cold.
