I think in 2 weeks!

I never change mine back anyway...... Confuses ppl who come by and think they are late, LOL.... is my mom's wall clock that strikes a pretty sound at the top of the hour and seems to scare the day lights out of ppl in the room.... the pendulum keeps swinging tho...

I know you are excited for Spring but winter is not over for another 3.5 weeks. Spring starts about the 3rd week in March. Our winter is late this year and we are expecting snow again Tuesday night into Wednesday - Chicago area and then going back in the 20's and single digits. Such crazy weather. It was mid 50's today.

Ugh!

Why can't we leave clocks exactly as they are now?

I have a big clock over the fireplace that needs a new battery....

I am going to wait until the time change to fix it...

It is so hard to take down....

@cbrite I'm looking foward to the time chage. Why don't you change your clocks? I can't imagine the confusion that would cause. It takes me less than five minutes to change all of mine.

I love DST because it signals nice weather, at least in thought. Can't wait!

So wish we were one of the states that doesn't respect this outdated ritual. But thanks for the heads-up, as I don't have a choice but to comply.

I celebrate the seasons and looking forward to Spring! Celebrating the seasons has nothing to do with our bodies having to adjust to the time demands of the clock. If working, this is a challenge....if retired, you can accommodate your wake-up time.

Much healthier .....wish all states were this progressive.

I love Daylight Savings Time. I love Spring.Though lately Spring in the Northeast hasn't been so nice. But I'm hopeful!!

I'm grateful that we haven't had a bad Winter. Temperatures have been decent.Although we've gotten quite a bit of rain it's a whole lot better than snow ⛄️.

I absolutely love the warm weather.I love the clothes I wear.I love the sunshine.I love the BBQ's, the ice cold beer & the Summer fruits 🍉. I cherish every minute!!
Bring it on!!! 🍺🍉☀️

All my decorations on timers will turn on when there is a lot of daylight left. The sun won't set until 6:45 in just two weeks.

@Meowingkitty You are lucky not to have DST, It's silly and outdated. It is only an hour but surprising really has an effect on people! Just have to roll with it I guess if we want to be on time!! LOL

I opened a window yesterday it was 60! Very unusual for February. Snow later this week.

I only have to change my alarm clock and watch.

Spring is coming. I don't want to get too excited because we still have March an the first half of April to get through; that's winter weather here and anything is possible. We generally get a bad ice storm during those months. However, it's been a strangly mild and practically snow free winter for us so maybe we will dance right into Spring.

@MalteseMomma Is your birthday March 8? So is my BFF! Happy Birthday in advance!

Now for the "bad" news. DST is "spring forward". You lose an hour on March 8. So your Birthday is 23 hours, not 24.

My birthday is Halloween. Before the end of DST (fall back/gain an hour) was changed to November, it was the last week of October, so I have had a few 25 hours birthdays. This year, DST ends on November 1, so that day is technically a 25 hour day, although I am claiming that hour as mine, since it is the night of my birthday, lol.
