Daylight Saving Time 2012: Time to Set Clocks Back This Weekend
Nov. 3, 2012
You'll lose an extra hour of light but gain an hour back this weekend as daylight saving time officially ends.
As standard time resumes at 2 a.m. Sunday, it's time to "fall back," so set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed tonight.
Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.

Previously, daylight saving time was observed in the United States from April until mid-October.

Which is just what the millions still without power because of Sandy need.

(36,974 posts)In your 'My Post' list when you post a thread (and when someone replies to one of your posts) it will show up lower down the page on the list in 'time' order.
Took me a bit to figure out why my newest posts weren't showing up at the top of the list.
It should work it's self out after 'one hour' after the time change.
Depending on your time zone if you're on the west coast then this might not have happened to you yet.
And any new threads on the LATEST THREADS PAGE will also show up lower on the list too (because they will have a one hour earlier time stamp on them)

(10 posts)Time is a constant and did not change; the earth did not speed up or slowdown in its spin rate over night.
The only thing that changed is YOUR reference point of time.

(129,096 posts)WTF is wrong with these people?
For people in the northern hemisphere, the number of hours of light WILL BE less and less until (at least here in Philly) there are only about 9 hours of daylight and 15 hours of darkness in winter.
As it is, the "extra hour of light" so-called "lost" in the afternoon has meant an "extra hour of light" GAINED (at least briefly) in the morning, so I'm not going out to work in the pitch dark like I was the past month or so. But I know that by December/January, I will be leaving in the dark and getting home at dusk.

(23,350 posts)I like June, when it is still light out past 9:30pm. Of course it helps being at the western end of a time zone.
We could forget about changing the time, just leave Daylight Saving Time "on" all year, that would be ok.
That's one Bozo's opinion, moving from GMT-4 to GMT-5.
