Daylight Saving Time Ends This Weekend

Friday October 30, 2009

Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday. We will be "falling back" so you will need to set your clocks back to 1:00. This means, of course, that we all get to enjoy an extra hour of sleep this weekend (unless, that is, you have young children whose internal clocks supersede any timepiece!).

It is also worth mentioning that the fire department recommends changing the batteries in your smoke detectors at the start and end of Daylight Saving Time as it provides a timely reminder to perform the task.
