Spring forward this weekend

Daylight-saving time will return here at 2 p.m. this Sunday, March 13, when clocks in the four time zones of the contiguous U.S. (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, except Arizona) will jump one hour forward at 2 a.m. local time. This marks the moment each year that U.S. and Canadian clocks switch from standard (or winter) time to DST (or summer) time in 2011.

So before retiring on Saturday night, set your clocks one hour ahead.

Most of the destinations in the Western Hemisphere that observe DST will be "springing forward" on March 13. The time change also takes place in Canada's Atlantic Time Zone, as well as the Alaska Standard Time Zone. Standard time will resume at 2 p.m. on Sunday Nov. 6.

This timely tip as well as many others can be found right here at the 15 online Recorder Community Newspapers and their more than 60 blogs. You can read the latest local news as well as information on a variety of interesting topics. The blogs are an interactive 21st century communication.
