Daylight Saving Time ending

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends Sunday at 2 a.m. when clocks fall back an hour. While we lose an hour of sunlight in the evening, we gain one in the morning.
Saturday morning the sun will rise at 8 a.m. but with the change out of Daylight Saving Time, it rises at 7:02 Sunday. Sunset Saturday is at 6:12 but jumps back to 5:10 Sunday night. As of Sunday, we have 10 hours and 9 minutes of day-light.
As we move toward the winter solstice Dec. 21, the days are getting continually shorter. We are losing about 3 minutes of sunlight a day, nearly 20 minutes a week. Through the month of November, the area loses 1 hour and 6 minutes of daylight. However, the rate of loss slows in December as we approach the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year.
By the winter solstice Dec. 21, the sun rises at 7:59 and sets at 4:43 for only 8 hours and 44 minutes of sunlight. That compares to a day length of 15 hours and 40 minutes at the summer solstice June 21. That is just short of seven hours more sunlight. It won’t be until March 17 that we see an equal number of daylight hours and darkness hours.
Daylight Saving Time starts again March 9.
