Don't forget to "Fall Back"

  Dont' forget to set your clocks back one hour! 


The phrase "Spring forward, Fall back" helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time.. We "Fall back" at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour  returning to Standard Time.

Daylight Saving Time was instituted in the United States during Wold War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October.

Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time. This makes  sense because these  areas are  closer to the equator because the days are more consistent in length throughout the year.
