It’s Time to “Fall Back” Florida

Saturday October 31, 2009

Small World ClockAfter use in both World Wars, Daylight Saving Time was formally established in the United Sates with the Uniform Time Act of 1966. In 1986, the Uniform Act was amended to begin Daylight Saving time on the first Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October. Two years ago, Daylight Saving Time began a month earlier — in March — and now ends a month later — in November.

Florida residents and visitors (except the extreme western tip of Florida's Panhandle) SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK AN HOUR to Standard Time at 2 a.m. Sunday — that's tomorrow — or before you go to bed this evening... and, enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
