Fall Back This Saturday Night. Daylight Savings Ends

(File Photo)

(Beaver Falls, Pa.) You’ve heard it before: Spring forward, fall back. The latter is what you’ll be doing this Tomorrow night before you got to bed.
Daylight Savings typically begins in March and ends in November in what is often referred to as “spring forward” and “fall back.” This year daylight saving time began on March 13
Under the conditions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.
Earlier this year, the senate unanimously passed legislation known as the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent and effectively eliminate the seasonal changing of the clocks. But the measure still needs to pass the House and be signed by President Joe Biden before it is fully approved.
Daylight Savings will start again on March 12, 2023
