Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m. Clocks should be moved forward one hour, giving us more daylight in the evening, and less in the morning. Cable boxes, computers, cell phones and other high-tech devices will likely spring forward without you having to do a thing. Other clocks will need to be manually adjusted.
