On March 8 2020, the countdown to the end of a miserable, cold, and long Winter is on!

So far this Winter, we have had over 13 extreme cold weather alerts issued for the City of Timmins, and we’ve had only six snow days Which, is considered low if you look at previous Winters.

The first sign that Spring is on the way has already shown up. You may or may not have noticed but, there is still a bit of daylight at 6:00pm… then the sun sets 10 minutes later.

So, what does that mean when we have daylight at around the sixth hour of the evening..? It means we have to get ready to lose an hour of sleep.

Daylight Saving time, will be on March 8th. That means that, at 3:00am nationwide we spring forward!

Spring will be here before we know it but for now, just remember that at 3:00am on Sunday March 8 you have to turn your clock ahead by one hour.
