Time to spring ahead is now!

Remember that Daylight Savings Time arrives at 2:00 a.m. Sunday.

Most people turn ahead their clocks before they retire for the night on Saturday.

Congress extended the Daylight Savings Time period, both in the spring and in the fall, as a means of saving energy by allowing an additional hour of daylight for many activities.

Emergency management officials say it's also a good reminder to change smoke detector batteries.

For many, Daylight Savings Time joins the robin and the tiny bud of the crocus peeking out from the snow as a sign of spring's pending arrival.
