Daylight Saving Time ends NEXT Weekend

[SteveG]

Daylight Saving Time will END on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. local time. That's when people will turn their clocks back one hour.

This should cause being groggy and stumbling around in time for you to be in fine fettle for the lunar eclipse Tuesday morning Nov. 8 at 05:09 a.m and the Full Moon and Election Day on Tuesday November 8^th

Oh, poop. I hate DST, even in the fall when we "gain" and hour.

Is this the last year we have to switch back or did congress not pass that bill?

Nope.

House never let the bill out of committee.

Who has the vested interest in keeping the time switch and why?

Well, bloody hell. I thought it was a done deal. Should have known better.

Energy companies. People waking earlier in the summer means more energy use in the hot summer "evenings"!

Rather than having people sleep thru the cool morning hours!

Why can't the powers just split the difference and move it 30 minutes?
