Daylight Savings in Alaska

Here's the latest from our friend in Alaska:

Here in AK we're gaining 5 mins. 45 secs a day and are already up to 11
hours plus of daylight. It doesn't matter how much daylight we have
as we are now 2 hour ahead of the sun
and day time temps are still hovering around 35 if
we're lucky. We won't be able to plant outside until
late May. We're in the time affectionately called
breakup which means that the snow is melting at a
rapid rate and then at night the water freezes giving
us a slippery ride in the AM. It also doesn't mean
that we won't get more snow tis month or next. So
much for daylight savings.
