A reminder to Spring Forward the clocks one hour

#1 Postby cycloneye » Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:26 pm

This is a reminder to the members that is that time again to move the clocks ahead one hour as Daylight Saving Time starts on March 10th at 2:00 AM EDT.

Is this pic from Accuweather? I hope its not implying that a human observation of turning our clocks forward somehow increases the risk of severe weather. I don't know if they just paired that reminder in with this or not.

Darn, I almost forgot about turning the clocks forward today, sucks to lose 1 hour of time :x .

It was strange, but nice, to have the sun set after 7:00 pm. :)

It was really nice driving home in the light and having the windows cracked open a bit.

We need to go daylight savings time all year! Silly railroads and their timezones. :)
