Don't forget to turn the clocks back this weekend!

This weekend when you 'fall back,' remember to 'Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery.' Be sure to check and change your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide batteries to ensure they are working properly.

"Fall back" at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, California residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour.

By gaining one hour, we also lose some daylight. Studies show there’s a spike in car accidents at the start of daylight savings time due to disrupted sleep patterns and darker roadway conditions for a longer part of the day. Avoid driving when tired and look out for crossing pedestrians or cyclists. Wear high-visibility clothing, reflective materials, or lights when walking or biking on the street, especially after sunset.

And why is daylight saving time coming to an end after the overwhelming passage of Proposition 7 in 2018? That ballot initiative opened the door to permanently adopting daylight saving time, but it still needs federal approval to be enacted.
