Personally, I've always noticed that our springs never get going until the switch to Daylight Savings Time. I suspect that it has something to do with the extra hour of daylight in the afternoon and evening (the warmest part of the day) which generally triggers the leaves coming out on the trees and the widespread melting of snow. The fact that we lose an hour of daylight (temporarily) in the mornings is not such a big deal since that's usually the coldest part of the day. Since we're starting DST three weeks earlier this year, I'm expecting an early and mild spring.
So should the US repeal DST in order to combat global warming???
