(NEW YORK) -- Never mind the snowy weather across the country --
it's time to spring forward this weekend, believe it or not.
Daylight saving time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. local time in all
but a few parts of the U.S. The bad news: You will still lose an
hour this Sunday morning. The good news: With each passing year,
there is less and less need to worry about that "don't forget to
move your clocks forward an hour" part. With more and more
people using radio clocks (sometimes inaccurately called atomic
clocks), clocks on mobile phones and clocks on any other online
device like a cable box or computer, switching to and from
daylight saving time has become less of a chore. For those who
still have off-the-grid clocks, there are plenty of mobile phone
and tablet apps that will kindly remind you to spring forward or
fall back when the time comes. The iOS app SpringAhead from
IDEA.org even provides some fun facts and info about which parts
of the world make the time change. Although it's probably news
to most U.S.
