There are many ways we northerners, hungering for warmer weather, have to forecast Spring. All these prophesy mechanisms may be flawed, even my misplaced faith in Wiarton Willi. But for me the surest sign we have of impending Spring is the switch to Daylight Saving Time.
The recognition that the calendar needed reform because of this calendar creep was centuries in the making. And who was the genius who figured this out and lobbied for the change? It wasn’t Pope Gregory, nor Phillip II of Spain – they just brought the political clout.
