Tonight Marks Beginning of Daylight Savings Time

Daylight savings time begins this weekend. Clocks should be set ahead by one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 9.

When adjusting clocks, residents are encouraged to change the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

Daylight saving time is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time.
