On a weekend? Screw you, world. Or whoever made Daylight Saving Time a thing. Admittedly the extra sunshine hour of sunshine is nice, but it wouldn’t even need to be an “extra” hour if we just stopped engaging in this stupid tradition.

This year, many of us have the special treat of having daylight saving recovery fall on an apocalyptic blizzard warning and snow day. Why world? Why?
