You Ask, Patch Answers: When Do We Change the Clocks for Daylight Saving 2013?
When do we "Spring forward"?
You know the old saying "Fall back, spring forward." Well, it's almost time to spring forward.
We received a reader question on the date Daylight Saving begins this year.
Well, you ask, Patch answers.
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 (Don't worry, we'll remind you again). Officially Daylight Saving is 2 a.m. on 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 Patch Newsletter.

Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

Here's another question. Why don't they just leave daylight savings time all year? move them ahead in March and just leave them alone forever? They did that during the gas crunch in the 70's. why not do it to address the same issue now?
