Don’t Forget to Spring Forward at 2 A.M. March 8th!

clocksMarch 8th starts Daylight Saving Time!At 2 A.M. clocks (in Chicago) need to be  turned forward an hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. I’ve been looking forward to DST this year! It seems like more gets done when we have longer hours of daylight! Wikipedia has some good stuff about DSTThis year, In the United States, Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 8, 2009 and will revert to Standard Time on Sunday, November 1. These changes will take place at 2:00 a.m. local time. Be sure to double check to see if where you live abides by DST.

Most cellphones and satellite clicks will update automatically. If it is after 2 am and you are reading this, then you really just need to chek that all of your clocks are the same.  Some, like the ones on the microwave and the car need to be changed manually.
