Daylight Savings Time Change From A Clocksmith's Perspective

SAN ANGELO, TX – Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday morning so it's time to set clocks forward one hour. The day was enacted on March 19, 1918 by the federal government as a way to conserve coal during World War I. While the government stopped the practice later that year, local governments kept the fun going for years before it was nationally recognized again in 1966.

We officially “spring forward” at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. That means essentially that the time between 2-3 a.m. on Sunday doesn’t exist, and we’ll go right from 1:59 a.m. on Sunday to 3 a.m.

Daylight saving time allows for more hours of daylight in the evenings.  

Love it or hate it, daylight saving time is the law of the land and Texas for now.  

Most cell phones change time automatically.  Be sure to reset the clocks around the house this evening so you won't be late for church!
