Daylight Saving Time went into effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, marking its 100th year.
Local officials also recommend checking and changing batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Daylight Saving began during World War I and used again during World War II as an energy saving initiative. It didn't become a (mostly) nationwide event until the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Arizona and Hawaii do not participate
Daylight Saving Time's eight-month run lasts through early November.
