Massachusetts is home to beautiful vistas, so tourists come far and wide to catch a glimpse of our natural wonders. The fall season is particularly popular with people looking to explore the Bay State's natural beauty. Fall foliage is in full swing and here in New England there is no shortage of opportunities to admire the leaves. However, if you want to explore our natural sites, the days will get shorter very soon.

Some people despise the loss of light, but there are some funny things that happen during this time

Many people are not fans of the shorter days. 4 p.m. can feel like 9 p.m. as the days get shorter. While I don't mind having shorter days, it also means I don't have as much time to do outdoor projects, which is a bit of a hassle for me. However, the shorter days also mean that we have a lot of fun ahead. The holiday season, children's outdoor snow play, and winter sports all take place at the end of summer time. So the end of daylight saving time isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What would happen if we abolished daylight saving time?

While many people would like to forego the time change twice a year, you might find yourself in a depressed mood if daylight savings time were eliminated. During the winter months, the sun doesn't come out until late morning, long after the kids are at school and parents are at work. This also raises concerns about the safety of children going to school in the morning.

Daylight saving time is here to stay, at least for now. Whether you live in Springfield, Worcester, Boston, etc., make sure to set your clock back an hour before bed on Saturday night, November 2nd, as we officially start at 2 on Sunday, November 3rd Go back in the morning. Get ready for shorter days.
