Time Rollback in U.S.A and Canada
Daylight Time ends in a few hours in those regions unfortunate enough to observe it in North America.

Winter daylight hours are short, no matter what time you start counting, so unless you work a 4 hour day, you're apt to be using your headlights to or from work, or both, for a while anyway.
And heck, it's only been like this for a few decades, guys, you'll get used to it.

This is too funny not to share, even if you don't know the original hymn:

Too true!
For those who have some familiarity with Anglican church music, the tune (Cwm Rhondda) is the one to which "Guide me, O, thou great Jehovah/Redeemer" is sung.

Love the tune Redwolf!
Here it seems that on the Sunday the time changes, either forward or back, we have a smaller group at church. I understand the spring one, but not when we've got an extra hour. Maybe they just can't handle change.

You are lucky. I have a clock that automatically resets itself, but it was built to reset at the old Daylight Savings Time time. So it changed two weeks ago. Then some clocks drive me mad when I try to figure out how to change them so I give up and try to remember if they are ahead or behind. If I fix them, then I forget that I've fixed them and still add or subtract an hour. It's a real mess.

yeah- my bedroom clock did that. And of course, didn't reset itself today. Had to look at my phone to know what the heck time it really was.
Now, to remember how to change the clock in the car.....
(our microwave NEVER has the correct time, it's just too darn confusing to change it. I just unplug it and let it sit at 0:00)
