A Little Reminder: Daylight Savings Time Is Tonight

 

 Just a reminder. Tonight Daylight Savings Time begins in the United States (most of it) and a number of other places. At 2 AM, the clock will "spring forward" to 3 PM. So not only are you going to have to go to bed a little early or get up a little later, but you're going to also have to keep this in mind when going to events, or hosting one, both here and real-life.
 
Oh, and some countries with a number of SL residents, their DST doesn't start for a few more weeks, which can add to the confusion. 
 
Stay timely,

Daylight Davings Time Takes Effect For US And Canada (Mostly)

 
It's the second Sunday of March. And if you don't know, Daylight Savings Time takes effect for most of the US and Canada. That means last night at 2AM clocks went forward an hour. For most of us, that meant losing an hour of sleep or getting up an hour later. For some, it meant ending up an hour later at events. 

But this wasn't the case for everyone. Arizona and some US counties, as well as parts of Canada, do not observe Daylight Savings Time. While most of Europe has it, it doesn't take effect until the last Sunday of March. For countries south of the Equator, it's the opposite. Parts of Australia and New Zeeland will be getting *off* DST in April.

But don't grumble too much. In October, Daylight Savings Time ends, so we'll get the hour of sleep back.

Reminder: Daylight Savings Time Means One Hour Back

 
Just a reminder folks. Daylight Savings Time ends in the United States and a number of other places around the world. So make sure your clocks are up to date. Otherwise you may be a little late for an event.
