Clocks ‘spring forward’ an hour tonight
File photo by Tom Rivers: The clock inside Rudy’s, a diner on West Center Street in Medina, includes the names of people who completed the challenge of eating a 1-pound Mojo burger.
It’s almost time to turn the clocks ahead for Daylight Savings Time. The clocks officially spring forward at 2 a.m. tonight.
Local fire departments also urge people to replace smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries, and families should discuss home emergency plans.
AAA warns that as Americans “spring forward” and set their clocks ahead one hour, they will be losing an hour of sleep. The change in daylight hours means motorists could experience drowsy driving and added distractions behind the wheel, AAA said.
AAA urged motorists to take precautions against drowsy driving and be alert for kids walking home from school or playing outside.
