Time to Fall Back as daylight saving time comes to an end for 2020
Submitted by paula on Fri, 10/30/2020 - 9:31pm
Daylight-saving time comes to an end for 2020 on Sunday, November 1 at 2:00 a.m. in much of the United States. Clocks will move back one hour as standard time starts its run.
The practice of having the time change started in the early 1900s as a way to make better use of daylight during the spring and summer months, so there is an extra hour of sunlight in the evening instead of the morning.

With just over 2k left to ride to the summit of Gibraltar Road, Team Sky’s 21-year-old Egan Bernal (COL) attacked and swiftly climbed away to a solo victory to close out Stage 2 of the 2018 Amgen Tour of California. Tao Geoghegan Hart and his Team Sky teammates set an unyielding pace all the way up the steep grade in support of lead rider Bernal to help launch him to his fourth victory of the 2018 season, shoring up the race lead as well as nearly all of the classification wins with today’s epic climb and overall performance.

Don't Forget: Change the time, Change the battery

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends at exactly at 2:00 a.m. this Sunday, November 6. Turn the clocks back one hour if you live in most of the United States (most of Arizona and Hawaii don't observe DST).
The Lake Valley Fire Department is using this change in time to remind residents to also change their smoke detector batteries. The batteries should be replaced twice a year, so an easy way to remember to change them is to do it as DST begins and ends.
Daylight savings time - Don't forget to change your clocks

Spring forward, fall back.
But why?
The reason the United States and many other countries, mostly in the West, shift to daylight saving time is contentious and confusing, and some of the more popular explanations are not grounded in reality. (It isn’t for farmers, as you may have learned in school.)
The general concept is to move an hour of sunlight from the early morning, when many would sleep through it, to the evening, when you could most likely do more with the light.
Time to Turn Clocks Back One Hour Tonight

Most in the United States do this twice a year, but do many know why? We're talking daylight savings time beginning and ending, each resulting in the turn of the hour hand. 70 other countries also participate in daylight savings time though Hawaii and Arizona have opted out.
