5 Things to Do in March Move clocks ahead one hour: Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 9, at 2 am (except in Hawaii and most of Arizona). Ease the change by gradually moving sleep and wake-up times the week before. Check Your Batteries Day is March 9. Replace batteries in carbon monoxide detectors, smoke alarms or, if it’s old, the backup battery in hardwired systems. Be sure to have fresh batteries on hand for flashlights, lanterns, radios, etc. Avoid the no-health-insurance penalty: If you are not already covered, enroll in a plan no later than Monday, March 31. Information: HealthCare.gov. National Poison Prevention Week is March 16 to 22. Make sure that the poison help number, 800-222-1222, is displayed throughout your home. Celebrate spring: Spring begins on Thursday, March 20. Revel in March Madness basketball (March 18 to April 7). Track blossom times and butterfly migration. Visit major flower shows in Boston (March 12 to 16), Chicago (15 to 23), Philadelphia (1 to 9), Portland, Maine (6 to 9), San Francisco (19 to 23) and Toronto, Canada (14 to 23).
