Hello all, is it that time of year to change your clocks where you are?

Do you move your clocks forward one hour or back one hour where you are or do not change your clocks at all? If you do not change your clocks where you are what season does it stay all year round? We change our clocks next Saturday night or Sunday morning and move it one hour back? We change our clocks twice a year. Hopefully when we change our clocks next week that we will still have nice weather till winter sets in here. Then we change our clocks forward one hour in March. When do you change your clocks?

We fall back 1 hour in 2 more weeks. But I can wait, the days are so short once that happens.

We change the clocks on November 5 or Saturday night before we go to bed so I'm not late for church on Sunday morning. I just need to remember which way the clock moves.

You do it after we do Valerie. Last year I thought I changed the clocks and someone was suppose to over and I thought she was late and called her up and she told me the correct time. I felt so terrible. I then changed my clocks.

@just4him I understand Valerie, do you get there at the end or the middle when that happens? I am so embarrassed when I forget.

We move our clocks 1 hour back at 3 am on Sunday October 29th. I am glad we change it's not 7 a.m. and it's dark as night. We start to work early in this country, an hour of light is more useful in the morning than in the evening.

We change ours Nov. 5th to Daylight Savings Time by setting it back one hour. It's very depressing, since it will be dark earlier. We will set the clocks one hour ahead in March like you.

Western Australia doesn't change their clocks any more although most of the other Australian states do. We voted it against daylight saving as they call it here.

@Hannihar The site I found gives daylight in winter (June) as from 7.17am to 5.20pm and in summer (December) 5.10am to 7.24pm. We don't have long twilights like Europe does.

I am always confused when changing the clock. For me, it is either backward or forward. Thanks for reminding me of that changing time again. I am not sure if we change this weekend or not.

@thelme55 Wait Thelma, so you do not change your clocks in the morning, but, the afternoon? When do you put them forward then and is it also in the afternoon?

Check on goggle Thelma as to when you do it. I found the phrase fall back and spring ahead help, but, the important part is knowing when to change the clocks either way.

Spring forward, Fall back is the saying here. This is actually odd. We do not use the word "fall" for "autumn" here in the UK. It just helps us to remember.

I understand what you are saying Jellybelly. Well, we changed our clocks early this morning. Since I do not stay up till 2 am but get up at that time at times I like to set my clocks before I go to bed. When I wake up and see that the computer is right then I know I did the right time. Last time we changed I screwed up somehow and do not know what I did and then when found out I did screw up I fixed the situation.

Yes Linda I know that one too, but, the dates are what are important when you do it. Do you always know the dates when you are suppose to do it or is there somewhere that tells you when? I go on something that tells us and so I write it down and it also tells us when to move them the other way too.
