Don't worry, spring will be here before you know it. Here's what to know about daylight saving time this year.
While DST was observed in some areas, the tradition became official in the U.S. in 1966 when the Uniform Time Act of 1966 was passed. The law was amended by The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended daylight saving time from March to November, after previously running from April to October.
Winter is at its peak and bitter cold temps and the threat of snow are hovering in the Northeast. But the start of Daylight Saving Time — the period between March and November when most Americans set their clocks forward by one hour to gain more daylight in the summer evenings — is just around the corner.
