Some things always seem to signal the change from winter to spring. The first crocus. The sound of birds chirping. Turning the clocks ahead an hour.
On Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m., people in most areas of the U.S. will turn their clocks ahead one hour to daylight-saving (not “savings”) time.
You may have already noticed that it’s staying lighter later, thanks to the normal course of the Earth’s movements in relation to the sun, but daylight-saving time turbocharges this process. Of course, no daylight is actually being saved. We’re just moving an hour of daylight to later in the day — so, for example, on March 11 when the clock reads 6 p.m., it will look pretty much as bright as it was at 5 p.m. the day before. By the time June is here, we’ll be able to enjoy the twilight well into the evening.
All this means that for those of us that work (and everyone else) we will have light in the evenings to do thinks like bike,hike,run,walk. This is a happy time for all the active people who have been locked in the house
