CLOCKS 'FALL BACK' THIS WEEKEND
Daylight saving time ends early Sunday at 2 a.m., so don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night. You'll get that extra hour of sleep, but sunset will arrive about an hour earlier Sunday evening. It's also a great time to check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, replace batteries if needed, and make sure everything is working properly as we head into the colder months ahead.
