After being enacted by the federal government March 19, 1918, Daylight Saving Time will begin its 104th year and will start its annual eight-month run at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 13, when people are to “spring” the time on their clocks forward one hour.

“Spring forward, Fall back” is a phrase used to help people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks in the spring and fall seasons.
