Tick, Tock, move ahead your clocks!


For those that went to bed early on Saturday evening, time moved ahead while you were asleep.

Daylight Savings Time pushed your clock ahead one hour at 2 am on Sunday morning.

The Vancouver Province provided some facts and figures for us to think over while we run around the house adjusting our time pieces..

Caution will be the word of the next few days for the travelling public however, as statistics show that drivers seem to have a hard time adjusting to the change on the first day back to work after a time change.

This is the first year that Spring has sprung forward earlier than in the past, as the time paramters for the time changes of fall and spring were put in place to follow the lead of the USA.
The Fall changeover took place a week later than usual, while our spring forward has come along a full month earlier than normal.
