Daylight savings time ends this weekend

Updated 11-7-2011 7:29pm


Spring ahead - fall back.

Eight months of daylight savings time ends this Sunday at 2am.

You can either stay up for it, or set your clocks an hour back before you go to bed on Saturday night.

The fire department reminds you to change the batteries in your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors. 

The cloud cover is already making the evenings very dark. We have few sidewalks and uneven coverage from street lights.

People going for jogs and walking their dogs should think about what drivers can see of them and their dogs in the dark and rain.

Wear reflective clothing, put reflectors on your dog and your dog's leash. And keep your dog close to you on streets with no sidewalks.
