For example, here are some of the latest sunrises, which we will see in New York if the passed bill becomes law:
- Thanksgiving - 7:53
- Christmas Morning - 8:18
- Valentine's Day - 7:51
One of the latest sunrises will be at 8:20 AM and will occur daily from January 1st to 7th. If you think it's late, it could be worse - for example, in Minot (North Dakota) the sun will rise at 9:35.
But a nice "trick" is that we never have there will be those depressing sunsets at 16:30. In fact, our new earliest sunset will be at 17:28 pm, in New York at that time it will occur from December 3rd to 13th.
Due to New York's northern location, there will be a lot of darkness here in winter. If we stay on daylight saving time, this will mean children waiting for the school bus in the dark even after 8am, but it will also mean it won't be dark at 17pm when many people go home from work.
