'Tis that time again.
But what time is it?
Remember to set your clocks ahead on Sunday or you'll be late on Monday.

I do wish they would just do away with this nonsense.
But, it is a good reminder to change your smoke and CO alarm batteries as well.

Is it already time again? I really would have missed the boat if you hadn't posted this, Mark. Thank you!

Remember this is a public service announcement for American crunchers only (and those of any other country that follows the USA's lead). European crunchers don't 'Spring forward' for another two weeks yet.

European crunchers and many others are affected as well by the changing DST date in the US.

Summer Time?
Not here unless the summer in Europe comes within 2 weeks when we set our clocks.

Tomorrow morning at 01:00 the UK and Europe will "spring forward" one hour.

I found solution to the "car clock" problem, got rid of the car ;-)

Yes:(
The only effect to people and environment is that there are many more dying in the week after. In Sweden about 30 people.

Not possible for me. I live to far from the city and no public transport extends here.

I have 27 clocks that have to be set manually. I know that sounds like a lot, but some rooms have as many as 5 timepieces of some sort. For instance, in one bedroom, I have two analogue wall clocks, plus a weather station, and those three items must be manually set, plus there's a computer in there that sets itself, but then I have to manually set my outdoor weather cam from the interface on the computer. Then, I've also got a little pedometer that needs to be set manually, a blood pressure monitor that needs to be set manually, a camera that needs to be set, etc., so it all adds up to lots of clocks.
