Don’t forget to move your clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday morning as the nation moves from daylight-saving time back to standard time.
Clocks should be reset to 1 a.m. at that time.
And while you’re on the road, don’t forget to call the folks back home and remind them to change the batteries in their smoke detectors. Fresh batteries should be installed at every time change to make sure that the detectors will be working when you need them to.
And don’t forget, when you’re driving across state lines, Arizona doesn’t participate in daylight-saving time, so they won’t be falling back. Hawaii also opts not to participate, but there’s not much danger of driving into the island state from another time zone, so it’s not much of a problem for truckers.
Indiana, however, is another story. Most of the state doesn’t have to fall back – or spring forward either – because the majority of Indiana counties do not participate in the daylight-saving system. Seventy-seven counties in Indiana are in the Eastern Time Zone but do not change to daylight-saving time in April. Instead they remain on standard time all year long.
But in 10 Indiana counties – five near Chicago and five near Evansville – are in the Central Time Zone and use both Central Standard and Central Daylight. Another five counties – two near Cincinnati and three near Louisville, KY – are in the Eastern Time Zone but use both Eastern Standard and Eastern Daylight.
