The annual ritual of changing our clocks to daylight saving time is coming at 2 am Sunday, March 10th.

Daylight Saving Time always starts on the second Sunday of March and ends the first Sunday in November. Since most of our computers, smartphones and DVRs automatically change the time for us, it's not as much of a chore as it used to be, but unless you have smart appliances, microwaves and ovens are among the household items that will need a manual adjustment.

So, don't forget to move all of your clocks ahead one hour when you head to bed Saturday night, or when you wake Sunday morning.

This year Spring officially starts on Tuesday, March 19th. This marks the spring equinox and the beginning of the spring season for the Northern Hemisphere.

Sunday’s time change will give us an additional hour of sunlight during the summer evenings. The purpose of time changing at 2 am was to minimize disruptions in daily life.
