Daylight Saving Time Starts Sunday

A reminder to set your clocks ahead one hour.

It's time to spring forward.

Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday, so don't forget to set your clocks ahead by one hour. So that's one less hour of sleep, but it's Sunday, so we don't blame you for sleeping in anyway.

Baltimore County police also remind residents that now is a good time to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
