Spring Forward: Daylight Savings Time Begins!

Postby Tanith » Sat Mar 13, '10, 1:06 am

Just a friendly reminder to those who live in North America and Uruguay, excluding some states, provinces and territories, that Daylight Savings Time starts this Sunday at 2:00AM. Set those clocks ahead to 3:00AM!*

Oh, I just read that Mexico isn't changing over until April 4th.

Here's a site that lists the start and end of DST around the world:

*I still have a few clocks that I have to set manually (like in my car), so I thought I'd pass on the reminder.

*sigh* Yeah, I feel your pain. On the other hand, though, it'll be lighter longer into the evening. Yay! As a night owl who works 2nd and 3rd shift, I very much appreciate that. However, morning commuters and kids with extremely early bus schedules will be in the dark, so I guess it's a two-way street.

Thanks for the reminder. :) I hate these time shifts, I can never remember to set all my clocks to the right thing. I'm glad a couple are automatic now.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm not really a fan of Daylight Savings Time. I wish they would leave it at one or the other. Just when I get used to something they change it again.

Oh, and as another added reminder. They are reminding people to change the batteries in their smoke detectors when they set their clocks back. I guess it is a good time to remember to do both, otherwise we'd probably forget about it.

Happy Spring. :flower:
