Just to be pedantic, as I found it really interesting when I realised, it's actually 5 months winter time and 7 months summer.
In the US states that still do this nonsense, it's 8 months on daylight saving time (summer time), and just four months on so-called "standard time." We should just stay on summer time all year at this point.
We were so close to being rid of it last year. The Senate unanimously Approved the "The Sunshine Protection Act" which would of gotten rid of the fall back period we experience in November. But Congress never brought it to a vote so it never became law.
Why am I not surprised? I wish we'd just pick one and stick with it.
