When Does Daylight Savings Time End in 2012?

These dark mornings have you wondering: When does Daylight Savings Time end?

Those 7:30 a.m. commutes will get darker before they get lighter. Officially, Daylight Savings Time doesn’t end for a couple more weeks – officially at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4.

Remember, you’ll “fall back” and set your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends.

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.

It begins again on March 10, 2013.

Why do we bother with day light savings. We should leave it one way or the other. We start earlier and earlier and end later. Just leave it
