DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME FACTS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW

Written by: Bob Metcalfe

Folks, I cannot take full credit for today's blog post, as Brian Neudorff found the article where today's subject matter stems from. He blogged about the 1999 Snowstorm... so I took up the "Spring Ahead" post. But as we all know, we lose an hour of sleep tonight as we turn our clocks ahead at 2AM on Sunday morning.

First and foremost: It is "Daylight Saving Time"... sans "S" on the Saving. I will freely admit that in conversation, I say Savings time. But this is not the correct version. But don't worry, apparently there are more Google searches for the incorrect way than the correct way!

What else... ahh yes! Apparently daylight makes people better drivers. When DST is instilled, it lowers the frequency of lethal car accidents. That's always good to know.

Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that do not observe DST. But let's be honest folks... do either of those places really need an excuse to extend sunshine? We'll gladly take their extras.
