But is is usually around Jan 1 before you really notice a change in the
light during the commute. I usually leave work about 4PM so half my ride is
daylight, but dark when I get home. My morning starts in the dark and gets
light about 2/3 of the way to work. As I get older, I really dislike
driving in the rain at night. If it snows, I don't leave for work until
late so that is not a problem.
