When is Daylight Saving Time? Sunday!

This year, we'll turn the clocks back by one hour on Nov. 6.

Daylight Saving time ends not this weekend, but the next, on Sunday November 6: It's always the first Sunday in November.

That's the case for Highland Park, but not in the U.K, where Daylight Saving ended on Sunday, Oct. 30. In fact, there's even a move by the British government to scrap it altogether.

Why is it different in the U.S.? According to the Huffington Post, the extended Daylight Saving Time began here back in 2007, after the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005.
