Every Spring we set our clocks ahead one hour to "Spring Ahead" for daylight savings. The purpose?  This extends daylight by an hour in the afternoons during spring, summer, and much of the fall! So be sure to set your clocks ahead one hour on March 13th to start getting in one more hour of sunlight in your day!
