This from New York 1:

Clocks move forward one hour this weekend for Daylight Saving Time, which kicks in Sunday at 2 a.m.

This is the second straight year that Daylight Saving Time is starting in March instead of April.

The extra hour of daylight in the evening is expected to help conserve energy.

The Fire Department says Daylight Saving Time is also a good time to check that the batteries in your smoke detectors are in good working order.
