when do the clocks spring forward
During late Winter we move our clocks one hour ahead and lose an hour during the night and each Fall we move our clocks back one hour and gain an extra hour. But Daylight Saving Time (and not Daylight Savings Time with an s) wasn't just created to confuse our schedules. The phrase Spring forward, Fall back helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (Spring forward, even though Spring doesn't begin until late March, over a week after the start of Daylight Saving Time). We Fall back at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour and thus returning to Standard Time.
