Daylight Savings Time ends in USA tonight: sunset time will be affected

Sunday at two a.m., the USA and some other nations changed their clocks to go back to Standard Time and off of Daylight Savings Time:

It’s that time of year again.

The “fall back” day is coming to clocks across the nation. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3…
Remember, you’ll “fall back” and set your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends. http://ames.patch.com/articles/fall-back-daylight-saving-time-2012-ends-sunday-4b97ab65

Daylight saving time 2013 will end Sunday at 2 a.m., so it’ll be best to set your clocks back an hour before retiring for the night on Saturday. Soon, many of us can expect to wake up in the dark, and come home from work in the dark, too, as there’s more than the clock at play: The time shift will be compounded by shorter day lengths. http://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/home-and-garden/garden-detective-1.812029/out-with-daylight-saving-time-in-with-standard-time-1.6362279

Because of that, sunset will be over an hour earlier this Friday. This change happened in Europe and Israel when I was there last Sunday.

Those of us who observe the weekly Sabbath from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday may wish to remember this time change. In my own case, we will have to close our office earlier than normal for the next several months on Fridays.

This will affect not only those in the Churches of God, but others who keep the seventh-day Sabbath such as observant Jews and Seventh-day Adventists.
