Daylight Savings Time arrives Sunday for Kingfisher County and most of the U.S.

It brings the usual “Spring Forward” drill, so that gives hope winter weather is on its way out.

Only Arizona and Hawaii and a handful of territories don’t observe the twice-a-year clock change.

While spring doesn’t pop up on the calendar until March 20, the first hint of it comes when Daylight Saving Time officially begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 10. That means you’ll want to turn your old-school clocks forward an hour when you go to bed Saturday night, March 9. The change is automatic for most smartphones, computers, tablets and other digital devices

Daylight Saving Time is the practice of setting clocks forward one hour from standard time in the spring, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight. Sunrise will be about an hour later.

Lawmakers in Hawaii and Arizona have declined to go along with the rest of the country on Daylight Saving Time. In Arizona, where the temperature can routinely reach a scorching 115 degrees, it’s a matter of retaining earlier sunsets and cooler evening temperatures.
