Taken from The Old Farmer’s Almanac page:
“Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months, and changing them back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to make better use of natural daylight. However, DST has many detractors—and rightfully so.
WHEN IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN 2020?
To remember which way to set their clocks, folks often use the expression, “Spring forward, fall back.”
- Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at 2:00 A.M. On Saturday night, set your clocks forward one hour (i.e., losing one hour) to “spring ahead.”
- Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2020, at 2:00 A.M. On Saturday night, set your clocks back one hour (i.e., gaining one hour) to “fall back.”’
We really look forward to this “time” of year as early signs of spring start to develop. The new spring shoots coming out of the ground may seem a bit early this year, but actually the plants are right on “time.” This doesn’t mean that there will be no snow in the near future. It can freeze all the way into June, but it will certainly be nicer to have a longer evening to spend outdoors when possible to get ready for harvesting, planting, pruning and call for early tree care from your favorite arborists.
