Daylight Savings Time Begins
Daylight time begins Sunday Morning, so remember to set your clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m. We are going to lose one hour of sleep, but not to fear, we will get the hour back in November. DST occurs on the second Sunday in March. Clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. If you are not planning to be awake at that time, set your clocks before going to bed. You don't want to be late for Church or Brunch.
