WASHINGTON - Break out the croquet set and set up the barbecue. Daylight-saving time returns this weekend.
That means push the clocks ahead — spring forward — to gain an hour of light in the evening for warm summer recreation. The official change comes at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time. It's also a good time to replace batteries in smoke alarms, safety advocates urge.
Daylight-saving time ends the last Sunday in October.
Some parts of the country don't observe daylight-saving time. These include Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
