Time to “fall back”

2023 Daylight Savings Time comes to an end at 2 a.m. this coming Sunday – the first Sunday in November – triggering the annual clock “fall back,” and WNEG is reminding our listeners to set their clocks back 1 hour before going to bed Saturday night. 

Setting your clocks back an hour is also a good time to do a home safety check, including checking the batteries in your smoke detector and to make sure your smoke alarm is working properly.

It’s also a good time to go over a fire escape plan with your family so you are prepared in the event of a fire.

This Saturday, sunrise will be at 7:56 a.m. in Toccoa, and sunset will be at 6:37 p.m.  With the changing of the clocks at 2 a.m., Sunday’s sunrise will be at 6:57 a.m. and Sunday’s sunset will be at 5:36.

On Saturday, March 9, the day before Daylight Savings Time begins again, Toccoa’s sunrise will be 6:51 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:37 p.m.
