A friendly reminder courtesy of the :
At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11, we move our clocks forward one hour as daylight saving time begins.
While you are running around the house changing the time on your stove, microwave, VCR and alarm clocks, please take the time to change the batteries in your smoke/carbon monoxide alarms.

A smoke or carbon monoxide detector with dead batteries can’t alert you in an emergency and save your life.

You may have noticed the annual tradition of daylight saving time has crept forward a bit. We used to spring forward on the first Sunday in April and fall back on last Sunday in October. But a couple years ago, Congress changed the date—adding more daylight saving time to the calendar. This year, it will run from March 11 until Nov. 4.
