The Olympics are over, the Oscars have been announced and the excitement and mayhem of Carnaval ended around 5am this morning. What's next? Spring is coming and that means it's time to move our clocks ahead. 

 

Daylight Saving Time goes into effect at 2am this Sunday, March 9 in the US, Canada and the ten northern border municipalities in Mexico. The rest of Mexico will spring ahead on Sunday, April 6.
