Turn clocks back Saturday night

if we post something Saturday night (early, early Sunday morning) and then turn the clock back, will it post again?

Or as hatterasbeaches says maybe you turned the clock back to soon and got the double post

I bought me one of them fancy dancy alarm clocks for my wife and I that automatically resets the clock in case of a power failure, and, as luck would have it, automatically sets the time forward and backward on time change... Ain't that neat?

The only problem is that we bought it the year that congress changed the law.. so now our clock sets the time a few weeks early... every fall and winter...

See how that works out!!! Now.. where is my GPS... Don't have to set the time on that ...

Not just in your smoke alarms...CO Detectors, and every other battery powered gadget you have about the house that you depend on to protect your safety and/or monitor your health (glucose meters, etc. )

Sounds like your clock needs a firmware update ... you might try contacting the manufacturer to see if they will replace the logic chip.

I have a Casio Waveceptor "atomic" watch that I really like. It is solar powered, so never needs to have the battery replaced. It also synchronizes the time once a day from radio signals so is always accurate within 1 second. When the gov't changed the DST rules a couple of years ago, the Casio made the correction with no intervention on my part.

We have 2 "atomic Clocks" in our house. One sets itself correctly every spring and fall, even after Congress started moving the daylight savings day around.

But the kitchen wall clock must have a date component it goes by. Every spring and fall, it changes time on the "old" date. Drives us nuts! But we like the looks of the clock, so we keep it. Maybe we could just buy a replacement clock motor/receiver?!?

I have the same "problem" with the VCR (yes, we still have a VCR!). We can set it up so that the time doesn't automatically change, however.

But you do have to set what timezone you're in. I think my GPSr is old enough that Indiana is in its own "timezone" because of its lack of DST.

I have the same problem. I have 2 atomic clocks and a VCR with different times. I have to mentally add or subtract an hour when trying to figure out what time it is. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix the discrepancies so I just live with it. Next round, I will buy a regular clock and change it myself. Seems a lot easier.

I have a VCR that changed over to standard time last weekend. I found that in the menu system there is a setting called DST, turning it from ON to OFF will stop it from changing the time automatically on the old dates.

Might be simpler to move to Arizona.

Well said, us peeps in Arizona do not have to change our clocks or times on anything else.

how nice for Arizonans. Any other States that don't change time?

I have a handful of devices that use the WWVB broadcast . It's interesting to note that the time code includes not only a DST flag, but fields to warn when it's approaching. This allows a few days of advance notice so that devices can change at the correct time even if it's not when they're resynchronizing.

For those devices that change at the old time (including my weather station), the manufacturer had to intentionally include a hard-coded DST table instead of interpreting that portion of the broadcast code.

I think I read somewhere that Hawaii doesn't also, and South Bend, Indiana doesn't either.

It's great to be in AZ!!!

Interesting Thought

True, you don't have to change your clocks, but you do have to change the film in all the traffic cams.

I love in North Carolina. Wish the time didnt change at all. Completely blows the evenings after work, because it gets dark so early. I am noit personally concerned about it. I am retard, so every day is a Saturday to me. But, I know how I used to feel after working all day, then ti getting dark outside os soon after arriving at home.

I was thinking it was later in November!

12:00...makes it easy

Also change the batteries out in all the smoke detectors as well.

Tanks for the reminder.

Thanks

and agree with you, I do love the longer days and wish they would just keep it that way.

Oh boy. Always seemed like gov't got this backwards. Maybe I just live too far north...

There’s an old saying, that will help in remembering which way to adjust your clock, during daylight saving time, and that is:

“Spring“ ahead, “Fall“ behind.

Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Effective April 2, 2006 - all of Indiana observes daylight saving time. However, the state still is confusing because it is split between counties on EST/EDT and counties on CST/CDT.

Well, I don't that Indiana's current status is THAT unusual - there are about a dozen other states that have multiple time zones.

What was confusing about Indiana's OLD system was that while most of the state did NOT observe Daylight Saving Time, the sections in the Central Time Zone DID observe DST. Also, the Indiana counties near Louisville and Cincinnati unofficially observed DST to stay in sync with those cities.

I forget, thank you for reminder.

I change all the batteries in the smoke detectors. I move them from one detector to the other....

Is that a problem???

Buy a new one, it's been a couple years already!
And thanks for the battery change tip for the detectors of all types.

Just want to say, I like your halloween icon! Cant wait to see what the Christmas one looks like.

Splitting firewood today. After I set the clocks back so we could enjoy a longer cocktail hour.

Back and forth just change it and leave it.

YEY! I get to stay up an extra hour tonight.

Arizona and Hawaii run on Standard time year round. Many towns in Indiana near major cities in other states follow the time in the adjacent state.

We 'winter' in Arizona and spend the rest of the year in Ohio. So we never need to change our clocks. We are gone when Ohio changes, and back after it changes again.

So the moral of the story is, if you can't get a new clock and don't want to spend the summers at 115-120 degrees, come on out to Arizona part time and forget about changing your clocks. Even if your fancy clocks change for you, they will change back before you get back and nobody will be the wiser !!!

Pretty cool!

ok

Thanks! An extra hour sleep was good today.

I needed the extra hour. Halloween ran late last night.

Actually, there are places in Arizona, I believe that do change their clocks...on the Navajo reservation.

Where possible I have replaced my clocks with atomic clocks, takes some of the hassle out of the time change.

Where do you find these 'atomic' clocks?

They must be heavy with all that lead shielding to prevent radiation leakage.

I couldn't resist.

Turned mine back Sunday. Hard to adjust!!
Got up one hour early today...

Wish they would just keep the daylight savings time so we will always have the extra hour of sunlight!!!!

I bought mine at Walmart, but I'm sure other stores have them also.

I have one of those that show the temp as well. This is one less that has to me fooled with.

Lots to choose from at Amazon.com. I have an Oregon Scientific weather station with this kind of clock and it has kept up with the "moving" daylight savings date just perfectly.

Methinks someone forgot to set the clock back on the server that hosts the Forum.

Seems to be off one hour on a post that was made minutes ago.

This post made at 1:34 PM EST.

Edit. Hmmmm. Now its right.
