The sun will rise an hour early tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

At 2:00am on 4 Nov 2018 the cell networks will push out the new time (1:00am Standard Time) to our mobile phones.  We’ll gain an hour of sleep and will be surprised when the sun sets just after 5pm. Rush hour will start at dusk on Monday.

Now that we’ve passed the autumnal equinox we’re losing daylight every day.  Tomorrow we’ll lose two minutes! 

Meanwhile, birds are unaffected by our trick with clocks and will still cue on daylight.  When the crows show up in Oakland at rush hour, lots of people will be surprised. 

Monday will be the first time people and crows are on the same schedule.  😉
