Is It the Last Time New Yorkers Move Clocks for Daylight Savings?

Are you thinking that this is the last time you need to change the clocks for Daylight Savings Time? For some reason, I kept hearing that this was the last time New Yorkers were going to have to change the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. Is that true?

Well, after hearing conflicting information, here are the facts that will set us all straight on whether or not this thing called "Daylight Savings Time" is done. Would you miss it if you never had to change the clock again?

So, is Daylight Savings Time officially over?
