Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday
It’s that time again. Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, and residents are encouraged to remember to turn their clocks back one hour before they go to bed on Saturday.
DST, which began on March 11, is now officially a century old, having been first implemented by the U.S. in 1918.
The occasion is also one on which to test smoke home detectors; yet increasingly, fewer “clocks” around the typical household have to be manually reset.
Computers, atomic clocks and many appliances will automatically adjust. A notorious exception is the clocks in passenger cars and trucks.
We’ll re-enter DST by “springing foward” on March 10.
