The Big Dark is back. Here's how it got its name

The Big Dark was never supposed to be a big deal. Why it matters: While the term started as weather-office slang for Seattle's gloomy season, it has quickly become part of our Pacific Northwest lexicon. Driving the news: Daylight saving time ends at 2am Sunday, when clocks fall back an hour, ushering in what many consider the unofficial start of the Big Dark. By the time we get to winter solstice on Dec. 21 , we'll have nearly 16 hours of darkness a day. "There's a big difference between sunset near 6 and going to and from work in the dark," Seattle weather blogger Justin Shaw told Axios. The backstory: The phrase became shorthand for the region's long, gray season thanks in part to a meteorologist, a newspaper story and a series of powerful storms. In October 2017, National Weather Service meteorologist Dustin Guy used "The Big Dark" while discussing a series of approaching storms amid the arrival of Seattle's gloomy season. The expression appeared in a Seattle Times headline and was soon picked up by other news outlets . The Big Dark wasn't new to NWS Seattle, said Logan Johnson, who headed the forecast office at the time. Staff
