"Spring Forward"

The clocks will "Spring Forward" this weekend. Saturday night / Sunday morning, 2 A.M. becomes 3 A.M.

I say "Spring Forward" because in the Spring the clocks go Forward...in the Fall the clocks go Back, so they "Fall Back".

Make sure that you say Daylight SAVING Time, NOT Savings...there is no "s" at the end of it. If you think about it, it makes better sense without the "s" because we are saving daylight, not savings it.

Friday morning will be the last morning to wake up in daylight for most people...at least for now.

Friday's Sunrise: 6:24 AM
Friday's Sunset: 6:00 PM

Monday's Sunrise: 7:19 AM
Monday's Sunset: 7:03 PM

The days are getting about 2 minutes longer each day (about 1 minute in the morning, about 1 minute in the evening), so it will take about a month, until April 10th, for the sunrise to be back to 6:30 AM.

Personally, I like the earlier DST (March instead of April) better because it's dark when I wake up at 5 A.M. anyway...I don't care if the sunrise is at 7:19 AM instead of 6:19 AM. It's much better with the daylight in the evening !

I like watching the sun come up. No matter what time it is.
