When Is Daylight Saving 2013?

When do we "Spring forward"?

 


You know the old saying: "Fall back, spring forward." Well, it's almost time to spring forward. 

Officially Daylight Saving is 2 am on Sunday.

This year, we move the clocks overnight on Sunday, March 10, in advance of the official Daylight Saving Time of 2 am. [Last year, it was on March 11.]

Don't forget to move your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

Moving the clocks ahead does mean we all lose an hour of sleep, but in return it will be light later in the day.

Besides, the lost hour falls on Saturday night — so just sleep in a bit on Sunday before getting up and starting the day with your Bristol-Warren Patch Newsletter.

It's also a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and other household alarms. Change the clock, change the batteries — almost as catchy as "Spring ahead, fall back."
