At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time (Spring forward, even though Spring doesn't begin until late March, over a week after the start of Daylight Saving Time).
When Does Spring Begin? Most people consider the first day of spring to be the Spring Equinox, which will start this year at 6:29 a.m. EDT, March 20th. This is because, astronomically speaking, the sun is directly overhead of the Equator as the Earth`s tilt begins to point the northern hemisphere towards the sun.
