Daylight saving time will begin Sunday, March 8, at 2 a.m., when clocks move forward one hour.

By Tracy Little • March 2, 2026

The winter solstice has passed, and you might have noticed that daylight is gradually beginning to lengthen — with sunset occurring about a minute or two later each day. And in just about two months’ time, we’ll spring ahead to enjoy even more sunlight. In 2026, Daylight Saving Time will begin Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m., when clocks move forward one hour — jumping from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac , the purpose of the clock change is to make better use of natural daylight. When clocks “fall back” to standard time, it shifts sunrise earlier — meaning brighter mornings. After the winter solstice on Dec. 21, daylight gradually increases each day, even if mornings still feel dim for a while. And when Daylight Saving Time begins again in March, sunrise and sunset will both occur about one hour later than the day before, giving most people more evening daylight.

Why settle for 50% off when you can get full value?

By David Collins • March 2, 2026

Why settle for 50% off when you can get full value? Estate liquidators start high and discount — we start at the bottom and let competitive bidding drive prices up. Collins & Company auctions draw from a pool of thousands of local and nationwide bidders, ensuring your estate brings top dollar. Unlike estate liquidators who typically leave 25% of items unsold, our auction model means nearly everything sells — leaving you with little to nothing left over to deal with afterward, and we can even help with that. The auction never stops — accessible online anytime, anywhere. That means bidders from across the country can compete for your items around the clock, driving prices even higher. And there's no guessing — at the end of every auction you receive a complete catalog showing exactly what every item sold for. With years of experience and a trusted reputation, Collins & Company has the knowledge and the reach to get you the results you deserve. Why not give Collins & Company a try? Call today for a free consultation — you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
