Daylight Saving Time begins March 8

Daylight Saving Time starts its eight-month run on Sunday, March 8, when clocks are turned forward one hour at 2 a.m. To many a minor annoyance or a bit of relief, Daylight Saving Time reminds us of the sun’s daily effect on our lives and tells us spring is on its way. Public safety officials want to remind residents to replace the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when changing their clocks. The National Fire Protection Association suggests replacing smoke alarms every 10 years.
