Hey New Jersey, Spring Ahead This Weekend: Don’t Forget Your Clocks and Smoke Alarms!

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up—this weekend, it’s time to “spring forward” as Daylight Saving Time begins. On Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2:00 AM, set your clocks ahead one hour. It’s a small change, but it means we’ll be enjoying those longer, brighter evenings—perfect for soaking up some extra sunshine.

Spring means New Jersey is one step closer to Summer at the Jersey Shore, hiking the Appalachian trails, tubing on the Delaware River and travel sports weekends!

While you’re tinkering with your clocks, here’s a pro tip: it’s also the perfect time to check your smoke alarms. Pop in a fresh set of batteries to keep them in tip-top shape. It’s a simple task that could make all the difference—safety first, right?

So, mark your calendars (or just set a reminder on your phone): clocks forward, batteries swapped. Enjoy the extra daylight, and let’s make the most of this spring vibe!
