March Forward Into Spring Time

Daylight Savings Time 2011 takes effect early Sunday morning.

With gas prices edging close to $4 a gallon and the national economy still in recovery mode after a multi-year recession, who couldn't handle a little savings, right?

Well, wait no more. Tonight (/Sunday morning) at 2 a.m. is the kick off of the 2011 Daylight Savings Time. We spring forward an hour, so don't forget to change the clocks. All of them ... even the mini clock on your microwave and on your iPhone (some of us do use those to wake us up in the morning).

Some places in the United States like Arizona don't participate in DST. Take a look at when other places around the world make the switch.
