Spring Forward Sunday, March 8

Did you know Benjamin Franklin is credited with the concept of daylight saving time? The basic idea is to make the best use of daylight hours by shifting the clock forward in the spring and backward in the fall. In 2005, President Bush signed into law a new energy policy bill that extends daylight saving time by four weeks. The bill took effect in 2007. Therefore, daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March.
