Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday
Don't forget to switch clocks back at 2 a.m. Nov. 6.
On Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. we officially switch off Daylight Saving Time and revert to Standard Time.
DST kicked off March 13 for an extended period of daylight saving in 2011. What used to begin on the first Sunday in April and ended the last Sunday in October has slowly been extended to make for a longer period of daylight saving each year.
Fire departments use the change over twice a year to remind everyone to use the occasion to check smoke detector batteries. It is particularly important at this time, especially in light of the upcoming holiday season. Winter, and Christmas tree lights, make for an extra risk of house fires during the Christmas season.
