Daylight saving time, also referred to as daylight savings time, daylight time, or summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time.


Remember to turn your clocks back one hour Saturday night! This is also a great time to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!
