The extra hour is nice for today only but Larry can appreciate the best part of the time change back to standard time which will be with us EVERY DAY until we go back to daylight saving time on March 13, 2022.

All the weather models come out 1 hour earlier!!!!

Yippeee!

Meteorological Time Defintion - The use of the Universal Time Constant for meteoroligical & hydrological data

https://www.weather.gov/tg/time

The time expressed in hydrometeorological products is important for correct interpretation for their use and also varies according to the product. The time in all hydrometeorological products is expressed according to a single standard, which is the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) (formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time [GMT] or Zulu {zero} Time [Z]). Midnight (0000 UTC) starts the 24 hour clock at the zero meridian.

Daylight saving time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Daylight saving time (DST), also known as daylight savings time or daylight time (United States, Canada, and Australia), and summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and some other countries), is the practice of advancing clocks (typically by one hour) during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time. The typical implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in the spring ("spring forward") and set clocks back by one hour in autumn ("fall back") to return to standard time. As a result, there is one 23-hour day in late winter or early spring and one 25-hour day in the autumn.


World map. Europe, most of North America, parts of southern South America and southeastern Australia, and a few other places use DST. Most of equatorial Africa and a few other places near the equator have never used DST as the seasons are not marked by drastic changes in light. The rest of the landmass is marked as formerly using DST.

Daylight saving time regions: 

  Northern hemisphere summer-Blue

   Southern hemisphere summer-Orange

   Formerly used daylight saving-Light Gray

   Never used daylight saving-Dark Gray

Thanks mcfarm,

Dang, I missed it but will get the chance on Monday hopefully!

The main difference is that the moon will rise/set around an hour later and go from 10% illuminate Trump d to 18% illuminated.

On the way to increasing every night until reaching a full Mann on the night of November 19th.
