spring forward

On Tuesday, the Senate voted unanimously to pass a bill to make daylight saving time permanent. This could mean no more "springing forward" or "falling back"!

We all change our clocks twice a year -- "spring forward" and "fall back", but have you ever asked "why"?

There are certain indications that spring is going to be here soon. Some of those signs are starting to appear around West Michigan.

The majority of Americans need one to three days to adjust to the time change.

This weekend the weather will start to cool down and we "spring forward" with our clocks.

Every year about this time I wait to see some signs that spring is around the corner. Things like seeing the first robin, "springing forward" with our clocks, and of course the opening of our local Dairy Queens.

It looks like we may have an unwelcome visitor next week. Weather forecasting models are suggesting a return of the Polar Vortex next week.

LaughFest officially kicks off this weekend. It is also opening weekend for the John Ball Zoo. We also have the Women’s Expo, KISS, Fish Fries, Hockey, Pirates, and a free day at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. Also, remember to turn your clocks AHEAD one hour this weekend.

We have outdoor and indoor activities this weekend. There is bobsledding, birthday celebrations, animals at the zoo, concerts, a circus, monster trucks and more. And don’t forget to “Spring Forward” with your clocks this weekend.

Hard to believe that Daylight Saving Time is already here again.  Each Spring we adjust our clocks and enjoy more daylight at the end of the day.  D.S.T. officially begins at 2am Sunday morning.  But, if you're like me you might not be up at that time, so it's best to just take care of the clocks and watches the night before, right...
