LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Sunday, it’s time to reset the clocks.
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8.
At that time, clocks will “spring forward” one hour as California goes from Pacific Standard Time to Pacific Daylight Time.
Daylight Saving Time continues in California despite the fact that in 2018 a majority of voters supported a proposition to end it.
Both the California Legislature and Congress must take action before the practice – in effect since 1966 – can be changed, and so far legislative efforts have stalled.
In the meantime, fire and emergency officials urge people to use Daylight Saving Time as a reminder to change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as in NOAA weather radios.
Daylight Saving Time this year will end on Sunday, Nov. 1.
