This weekend is the end of Daylight Saving Time for 2010.
The US law does not require any state to adopt daylight saving time. However, if a state does want to adopt daylight saving time, beginning in 2007, daylight saving begins on the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
There are some states that do not observe daylight saving time and they remain on standard time. Arizona, with the exception of the Navajo Nation remains on standard time. In addition, Hawaii, and the territories of the Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Guam do not observe daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time is also observed by More than one billion people in approximately 70 countries around the world observe. You can read more about the history of daylight saving time both in the US and around the world.
BTW it is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS. Time Saving is used as a verbal adjective (a participle) which modifies time.. and refers to the saving of daylight.
Enjoy the extra hour and don't forget to change your clocks and batteries!
