March 13 – Spring Ahead!
Posted by Dustin Horton // February 28, 2011 // Calendar of Events
Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins on the second Sunday in March at 2am local time in the U.S., which in 2011 is March 13. Turn clocks ahead by one hour, ideally at bedtime the Saturday night before. Manually adjust your timepieces and timekeeping technological devices that do not automatically adjust. The purpose of DST—also known as Summer Time—is to extend daylight by an hour in the afternoons during spring, summer, and much of the fall.
