West Coast once again is 2 hours ahead of us

If you're calling the mainland, be aware that daylight-saving time ended this morning at 2 a.m.

In most U.S. cities, people set their clocks back an hour overnight, which means there's now an hour less time difference between Hawaii and locations that are now on standard time.

Daylight-saving time returns the first Sunday in April.

Besides Hawaii, the change does not affect Arizona or the portions of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, which do not observe daylight time.
