So I looked online and it says daylight savings is November 4th this year. I'm so confused, heres what happened. I woke up and looked at my clock it said 9. Then after I got of the shower i looked at the clock in the living room and it said 10:30. I soon realized every clock in my house except the one in my room said 10:30 (the one in my room said 9:30) I thought I had accidentally changed the time on my clock when I was setting the alarm, so I did think anything more about it. But recently a girl that I work will called me and wanted to know when daylight savings was because the clock on the fax machine at work was a hour slower than the clock on her cell phone. So now we're both all confused. I know that my clock in my room, my cell phone clock, and the clock on my computer all change automatically...so its weird that only the clock in my room changed. I live in Virgina, is there something going on with the clocks here..?

They changed the date of the whole day light savings time thing last year. Your clock must be older and programmed to change time on the set day of day lights saving time.

My computer did the same thing, and I was confused for about an hour. What happened was that the clock you checked was probably digital and the factory settings have the original dst time on it. Since it changed this year, that clock had no way of knowing, so it switched as if nothing happened. Just switch your clock to the correct time for now, and then change it again on Nov. 4th.

Do you have those atomic clocks? They are supposed to set themselves? I think they are confused. As am I. I thought everyone had the time change on the same weekend but apparently I was mistaken. So now I really dont know.

In England we adjust the clocks for daylight savings today, maybe your clock is English?

If it was digital, it may have been factory set to change with DST on the original date intended however with the government changing the day we are going to fall back this year someone forgot to inform your clock!

in eastern standard time we usually change the clock on the last sunday of november so that clock might be a smart one that switches on the correct day. this year however its special, it swithces on the first sunday of november
