Reminder: US Daylight Saving Time starts this Sunday morning
In case you didn’t know, this is the weekend when US Daylight Saving Time starts - this is the switch where you get an hour less in bed. At 02:00 local time Sunday morning the clocks go forward an hour.
Chances are that most of your critical systems will be running on UTC/GMT, but if you have systems running on local time they might need some hand holding or display some weird behaviour because of the switchover.
Usually the most noticeable effect of a DST spring forward is that folks are more groggy on a Monday morning than they usually are!
