Hi Jackie!
It's the start date and finish date, here in the United States, as well as in Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas and Cuba.
Daylight Time starts tomorrow, Sunday the 11th, in North America. That's three weeks earlier than last year. (Actually, it's nearly four weeks, because in 2006 the clocks were late going ahead, not until April 7th.)
It will end the first Sunday of November instead of the last Sunday of October. From now on, Halloween will always take place before the clocks go back, meaning more daylight and greater safety for the children.
The next question is, will other countries follow suit? The answer is, probably. Mexico likely will, because for the next three weeks, there will be cross-border time confusion between us and Mexican border communities.
Europe followed us in 1996. Daylight time there had always ended in September, but to keep things uniform, they moved the end of their Summer Time to the last Sunday of October. My guess is that in the next while, Europe will adopt the American system. It will certainly make sense astronomically.
Right now, everyone both in Europe and America is comfortable with Daylight Time at least to the end of October. But astronomically, the days are actually longer in early March than they are in late October. There isn't the slightest reason that Daylight Time shouldn't start in early March. America has taken the lead, doing the astronomically sensible thing.
