When Do We Change the Clocks for Daylight Saving 2013?

When do we "Spring forward" this year?

Crocuses and snowdrops are blooming on the Island, daffodils are making their appearance on the scene and any night now, we'll start to hear the pinkletinks.

That means it's almost time to "spring forward."

This year we move the clocks overnight on Sunday, March 10. Don't forget to move your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

Officially, Daylight Saving begins at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Yes, moving the clocks ahead does mean we all lose an hour of sleep, but in return it will be light later in the day. Besides, the lost hour falls on Saturday night, so just sleep in a bit on Sunday before getting up and starting the day with your Martha's Vineyard Patch newsletter.
