Guessing the discussion of Florida doing year round observance of daylight savings time is old news. But this one caught my eye: shifting the area west of the Apalachicola River (CST) to match the rest of the state in eastern time.

Panhandle going Eastern Time Zone

Year round DST would be great.  The panhandle going to ET would suck.  I have more business due North in Alabama  than I do to the East in Tallahassee.

This. Being an hour ahead of places that are 60 miles due north would blow.

So. Technically year round DST would mean we are just on Atlantic standard time (one hour ahead of EST).

So during the summer we would match the rest of the east coast and Georgia. But wintertime you'd have to change your clock at the florida Georgia line

Worse still. If the panhandle were put on EDT/AST in the winter. Going into Alabama would be a 2 hour time change!

It looks like the Panhandle change is off the table, but the full-time DST is moving forward.

I’m ok with that

Being an hour ahead of places 40 miles due west blows now.

Time zones are stupid. There should just be one world time zone.
