This weekend will be one hour shorter than usual, thanks to the onset of daylight saving time at 2 a.m. March 12, meaning residents will have to “spring forward” and turn clocks ahead by one hour.
The annual clock-changing ritual will mean one less hour of sleep, so plan accordingly. And as usual, fire officials urged people to use the time change as a reminder to check smoke alarms and replace the batteries if necessary. It is also a good time to reset timers on outdoor lights and lawn sprinkler systems.
