Daylight Saving Begins Sunday at 2 a.m.

A sign of longer days and warmer temperatures, daylight saving time begins Sunday at 2 a.m.

These days most smartphones and computers with satellite control automatically adjust for daylight savings. But desk clocks and wrist watches—remember those?—still have to be set forward one hour.

Alexandria's Fire Department also uses this time to remind residents to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and other life-saving devices.
