When is the End of Daylight Saving Time 2012?
The clocks are rolling back an hour this time, think of all the fun things you can do with that extra time!
Those 7:30 a.m. commutes will get darker before they get lighter when Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday.
Remember, you’ll "fall back" and set your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends. It begins again on March 10, 2013.
That extra hour gives you a chance to get out in Buffalo Grove and have some fun. You could:
- Catch some live music at eSkape;
- Attend this Wine and Curry fundraiser in Long Grove
- Show off your karaoke skills at Las Palmas;
- Start a blog on Patch, or promote other events going on!
When you change your clocks in the fall and spring, it’s also a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure device are in working order.
Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Savings Time. Around the world, about 75 countries and territories have at least one location that observes daylight saving time, according to TimeandDate.com. On the other hand, 164 don't observe the time change at all.
