Is tonight when we turn the clocks back one hour?
I've been focused on the snow all day and looked at the calendar.

Isn't it the last Saturday in October?

15. I get the same amount of sleep but I have to be at work an hour later
every day. That, along with the shrinking daylight, means I won't see home when it's light out during the work week until late Feb. or March.

11. Thanks for asking this question, I was wondering as well.
I always appreciate the extra hour, but these days it almost seems to dissolve without notice, and I don't get as much benefit out of it as I used to.

12. After way too many many years, someone finally had the good common sense
that everyone else knew was needed to make it the Sunday after Halloween so kids won't be in the dark so early while doing their thing.
