Before heading to work this Monday,
keep in mind that Daylight Savings Time will end on Sunday, November 3rd!
Did you know....
Almost 30% of Americans have admitted it makes them late or early.
The time
change was formally implemented during WWI to minimize coal consumption.
Arizona and
Hawaii don't recognize DST at all. In Antarctica, there is no daylight in
the winter and months of 24-hour daylight in the summer. However, most research
stations still observe Daylight Saving Time to synchronize with their supply
stations.
Trains
cannot leave a station before the scheduled time (when the clocks fall back one
hour in October, all Amtrak trains in the U.S. stop at 2:00 a.m. and wait one
hour before resuming)
In
2007, a new law was created to extend DST to the first Sunday in November to
provide trick-or-treaters with more light to prevent more traffic accidents.
