Take your time, DST will be with us a while longer

We may have lost summer, and we may have lost some daylight hours, but we're still on Daylight Saving Time. (Please note, it is "saving," not "savings" as so many people say.)

That won't change for a while. When our local time is about to reach
Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 2 a.m. you'll turn your clocks backward (spring ahead, fall back) to 1 a.m. 

Sunrise and sunset both will be about one hour earlier on November 3, 2013, than the day before. That's just the way it is.

For those of you who hate the thought of losing DST, it will make a comeback on March 9, 2014. Not a lot of consolation once winter gloom descends on us, but at least you can mark something uplifting on your calendar.
