Spring Forward
Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on the second
Sunday in March. Remember to set your clocks ahead
one hour, and enjoy the extra daylight in the evening.
Power Up
Daylight saving time is a good opportunity to
replace batteries in household devices like clocks and
remote controls to keep them at peak power.
