It’s almost daylight-saving time.
Some things always seem to signal the change from winter to spring. The first crocus. The sound of birds chirping. Turning the clocks ahead an hour.
You may have already noticed that it’s staying lighter later, thanks to the normal course of the Earth’s movements in relation to the sun, but daylight-saving time turbocharges this process. Of course, no daylight is actually being saved. We’re just moving an hour of daylight to later in the day — so, for example, on March 10 when the clock reads 6 p.m., it will look pretty much as bright as it was at 5 p.m. the day before.
Many people welcome the tradition of “springing” forward. It means an extra hour of daylight in the evenings, and signals the approach of spring and summer. So what’s the problem? Haters can start counting down the days until we turn our clocks back an hour and “fall” back to standard time on the first Sunday in November.
