Spring Forward to Daylight Savings Time

SPRING FORWARD!

AS SNOW blankets much of East coast- Freezing in Florida

Daylight saving time 2022 begins at 2 am local time on Sunday

• Daylight saving time announces its entrance at 2 am local time Sunday for most of the country, and clocks will spring one hour ahead
• Standard time will hibernate until November 6, when clocks will fall back an hour
• It will stay lighter for longer into the evening but the sun will rise later in the morning than it has during the months of standard time
• Remember to set clocks an hour ahead, usually before bed Saturday night
• No time change is observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas 
• 200 years ago, DST was presented as an economical suggestion to maximize daylight hours and conserve candles before the advent of electricity 
• Roughly 100 years later, the Germans were the first to officially adopt the light-extending system in 1915 as a fuel-saving measure during World War I
