It’s almost time to spring forward!

Daylight Saving time will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, 2023. Most devices these days will adjust automatically to the time change, but don’t forget to set any traditional clocks forward by one hour.

While it’s true that Oregon, Washington and California have collectively agreed to abolish seasonal time changes, making the change a reality is stuck at the federal level.

In 2022, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bi-partisan bill called the Sunshine Protection Act – which promptly died in the House of Representatives.

Until and unless that changes, we’ll still spring forward in March and fall back in November – at least for the foreseeable future.
