CLOCKS SPRING AHEAD 2am in the U.S., even in Oregon.

They haven't quite settled that.

Didn't Oregon 'lock the clock?' Here's why you still have to spring forward March 14
by Mark FurmanFriday, February 26th 2021



Oregon lawmakers passed a bill in June 2019 to keep Oregon on daylight savings time all year. The governor signed it into law a week later. But you'll still need to set your clock back an hour this Sunday. (SBG)


EUGENE, Ore. - Sunrise is 6:27 a.m. on March 13 and sunset is 6:16 p.m.

A day later the sun rises at 7:35 a.m. - and sets at 7:17 p.m.

The change comes as we set our clocks forward an hour for daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 14.

You know the drill: Spring forward. Fall back.


Since 1918, most of the United States has made the twice annual switch from standard time to daylight saving time.

But didn't we do away with the time change years ago?

State lawmakers did pass a bill in June 2019 to keep Oregon on daylight saving time all year.

The governor signed it into law a week later.

But you'll still need to set your clock ahead an hour this March.

And you'll probably need to fall back an hour again to standard time on November 7, 2021.

Even though Senate Bill 320 - which would keep most of Oregon on daylight saving time year-round - took effect January 1, 2020, the key provision - locking the clock on daily saving time - has yet to be triggered.

The bill would keep Oregon on daylight saving time and skip "falling back" in November. The portion of Oregon on Mountain Time - cities like Ontario and Jordan Valley - would be exempt.

But Oregon lawmakers said the change would take effect the first November after both Washington and California adopt year-round daylight saving time.

Washington lawmakers passed legislation to do so, and California voters cast ballots directing lawmakers there to do the same.

But the bill stalled in the state senate; and California lawmakers again didn't pass a bill in 2020.

All three states also face one final hurdle: Congress needs to sign off on the deal.

So stay tuned: Oregon lawmakers built a 2029 deadline into the law, so there's still time to change daylight saving time.

I was watching a movie online and completely forgot.

The clock on my cable box does it automatically with the time change, so does the alarm clock near my bed, I think.

So tomorrow night it will get dark about 730-8 in NYC. Thats good.

Have a good night.

It's nice not having to change clocks ever at all here

I hope law makers pass the bill in congress marco rubio proposed it. But unfortunately some senators are still defending it which is dumb

What are their reasons for keeping it?

 

[TMF Jeff]

I hate this system so much. They've been making noise about getting rid of it since I was a kid, but somehow they never manage to do it.

 

[MrCosquillas]

What are their reasons for keeping it?

In my opinion reasons that are not enough to convince other senators or the people.

Reason 1 lawmakers worry that california time won't be aligned with mexico's this for california though

Reason 2 going to effect.farmers.ranchers because cows won't know that the time has changed and would through everything off [emoji849][emoji849]
Reason 3 some lawmakers worry that permanent daylight savings time could effect students going to school when they open because it going to get dark

I know this isn't the reasons for federal level but here's an article https://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2021/mar/12/senate-bill-could-mean-nevadas-clocks-will-spring/

Thanks so much for the response and the info!

I hate all of this. I was binging Mindhunter S2 on Netflix and had a time paradox moment because I forgot it was DST. Next thing you know its 5am here in Chicago and im wide awake. Awfulness.

 

[BlasterMaster]

I think there's a special place in HELL for the person who came up with the bloody damned idea of Daylight Savings Time!

 

[gnomes101982]

I'm still feeling off from it. Completely forgot about it and went to bed normal time, cell phone sprung ahead automatically in the middle of the night, then I woke up groggy and was off all day yesterday. Still feeling it right now and probably won't feel right for a week. Hate springing ahead.
