SUNDAY AM IS SPRING FORWARD FOR CLOCKS - Daylight Savings Time

(03/09/2013)

It's time to 'Spring Forward' Sunday morning at 2 a.m. Springing forward means losing an hour of the day for Daylight Saving Time. The good news, sunset will be an hour later. You may have noticed the annual tradition of Daylight Saving Time has crept forward a bit We once sprung forward on the first Sunday in April and fell back on last Sunday in October. But Congress changed the date, adding more Daylight Saving Time to the calendar. Benjamin Franklin has been credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time, but Britain and Germany began using the concept in World War I to conserve energy.
