Spring = Forward, Fall = Back

To all us Brits,(and the rest of Europe),the clocks go back TONIGHT... well at 2AM to be exact...

An extra hour in bed ... Whoo Hoo! :D

Hi Bewolf:
Same for most states here in the United States, Bewolf. A few states don't observe daylight saving time, but ours does - MInnesota. Our clocks already set back an hour here on Sunday morning. Understand that next year daylight saving time will start one month earlier and end one month later. So we will have to set our computer clocks by hand two different times. Sigh...will this hard work never end.

Not too many years ago there was about a week difference between the US and Europe. Next year, it is going to be a bear to figure out when to call my family back in the States. What time is it, again? :confused:

I guess they will really be surprise phone calls. ;)

Dear Lilviking:

Type in "daylight saving time" to a search engine - I use Google - and you will find an article that gives times, including daylight saving times, all over the world. This should help you with your phone calls.

Well I made the big boo boo Monday morning. Set the alarm according to the DST Sunday night and got up only to find out that they had changed it to wait until November. Needless to say 6 yr old was late for school. Thank God bf wasn't late for work. Jeez I guess I don't watch enough TV LOL. Had been watching the news every night I don't know how I missed it. Must be flipping channels too much. Felt like an idiot LOL.

Wolfie, Spring = leap or move quickly (like a metal/plastic spring).
But in the Spring we do indeed spring forward/ahead (sorta like time not your clocksprings forward, which means we set the clocks to the specified time .. 2:00am becomes 1:00am ~~ In the Fall time falls back to what it once was. At 2:00am we set the clocks to 3:00am.
We here in the US say "spring ahead fall back"

In Iran the resetting of clocks is no longer done. When it was it was done on the first day of spring and first day of fall. That meant we were out of kilter with Europe and the States for about a month.

It is time for the annual bumping of this thread...

[houghchrst]

I really despised the time change in fall when I worked. I spent all day inside w/no windows and darkness the rest of the time.

Not so any longer! :D More pain=more daylight and no paycheck
