The roads here are dark at night, lightly cycled any time of the year, but I'll keep on riding until/unless we get snow or ice.

I'm actually glad for the end of DST. It gives me another hour of light for the morning commute. In the evenings I prefer it to be dark than getting dark; the glare of the setting sun worries me (I'm not sure I'm visible to the driver fighting to see the road without getting blinded), and I frankly thing I'm more conspicuous at night. I've got 2-4 rear lights, and 1-3 front lights, and people who would otherwise not see me or think, "I can pull out in front of that bicyclist" see the lights coming and wait for me.
