Spring Forward – Time Change | Sunday, March 12, 2023

March 7, 2023 By Laura Allen, Tahoe REALTOR, 530-414-1260, CalRE# 01473598

Fireworks exploding in the air above the Tahoe City SkylineSpring Forward – Time Change | Sunday, March 12, 2023

It is time to once again to Spring Forward and change your clocks by moving the time forward one hour!

On Sunday, March 12, 2023, you will need to change your clocks by one hour if you live in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

There has been some confusion on whether we are still changing our time twice a year here in California, but we are, despite the US Sentate passing a law that Daylight Savings time would become permant in November 2023.  Since the House of Representatives never passed this law, it is most likely not going into effect this Fall, stay tuned!

It’s been a long winter, a lot of snow, and I am ready for more sunshine and a move towards warmer, longer days!

Changing our time with that Spring forward action will give us longer days and it is something I look forward to each year!

On Sunday, March 12, 2023 (the change happens on the second Sunday in March), we will all need to move our clocks forward one hour (yes, an extra hour of daylight at the end of our days, and one less hour of sleep) as we start daylight savings time here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area.

How big of an impact does this make on our days here in Tahoe?  Consider this, before we make the time change, on Saturday, March 11, 2022, sunset will be at 6:04 p.m. Once we spring forward on Sunday, March 12, 2023, sunset will be an hour later at 7:05 p.m.

Remember before you go to bed on Saturday night, you’ll need to set any manual clocks ahead one hour!

Since we have the twice a year time – clock change, here is my list of things additional tasks to do before the Spring Forward day:

  • Change clocks in our home, office, kitchen (microwave and oven), and cars (move forward one hour).  Yes, we still have some manual clocks that do not reset on their own. : )
  • Check smoke alarms It doesn’t hurt to make sure they are all working and replace those that don’t respond.  Since most have multiple-year batteries in them, replace those that are older.  You should have one alarm in each sleeping area, and one in each common area on each floor.
  • Check all carbon monoxide alarms/detectors Again, just a quick check to make sure they are still working.  You should have at least one carbon monoxide alarm/detector on each floor, best if you can have on in each sleeping area.  If you find yourself falling asleep in a common area, put one in that room too!
  • Fire extinguishers If you don’t have fire extinguishers in your car, in the kitchen, garage, and other places that could benefit from a fire extinguisher, now is the time to get them.  It is also time to check to make sure the ones you have haven’t been moved and/or damaged.  Over the years I have found that this is also a good time to buy and add another one and put it in a room that doesn’t already have one. Buying an additional extinguiser twice a year can help make it easier on your budget.
  • Any security device or item that uses a battery and is wireless (security cameras, video doorbells, exterior/interior lights) that need to be changed every 6 months to a year. 
  • All Flashlights (working, extra batteries), candles, matches, lighters, short-term lighting devices. Time to make sure all are in good working order.
  • Back-up charger device for cell phones/laptops There are a number of extra power devices that can hold a charge for up to a year, but now it a good to check and re-charge them as needed.  Technology continues to improve in this area, so check into getting a solar charging option for those devices.
  • Canned goods/emergency food supplies You never know when you might not be able to go to the store, so if you haven’t checked your emergency food and daily living supplies (emergency food for each member in the house, your pets, bottled water, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, etc.), now is the time to check those supplies, rotate old out – new in, and get other supplies on hand.
  • Make sure you have the following:
    • Get a battery-operated radio – Check to make sure the one you have is working.
    • Get a small TV that can be powered by connecting to just a USB port device that works on an antenna (free tv – news and information in an emergency, or power outage)
    • Get the TV antenna device that will work with a digital TV that can get us the free national channels.  You never know when the cable could go down and you’ll need local news and information.
    • Create a fire evacuation emergency plan.  Have you designated a location outside of the Tahoe Basin – Truckee area that everyone will/can meet at, or someone to call outside of the area to let them know you are alright and where you are at?  This is critical so you can find out if others in your household are also okay..  Having a plan in place before an emergency is critical if you spend any time in our area.
    • Figure out your “grab bags” – items to take with you if you had to leave the area with just a few minutes of notice.  I have put together a list of items throughout our home to take.  Knowing what the item is, and what room it is currently located in can save you a lot of time and give you your best opportunity to get those items in a “must leave” situation. 
      • Having your bags partially loaded, along with the “grab and go list” in it, makes you more prepared for that emergency event.  Now is the time to do these critical tasks for that “just in case” emergency moment.

For those not as familiar with the Lake Tahoe –  Tahoe City  – Truckee areas some of our important utility lines (electric, cable, phone) are located above ground.  Several times a year the power will go out for all different types of reasons, so being prepared for a “no power situation” is a must.

We are also located in a high-fire zone.  The reminder to be prepared for a disaster (wildfire) and having everyone in your house-hold familiar with what to do if the worst-case situation should happen is very important, so make your emergency plans now if you haven’t, and if you have those plans, now is the time to review them.

Take advantage of this timely reminder to not only change your clocks, but to do some routine safety checks, along with being proactive on your emergency home preparation plans for that just in case moment!

Upcoming future dates to keep in mind (number of days are from March 12, 2023):

  • Next time Change:  Sunday, November 5, 2023, | 238 days (Fall Back and Gain One Hour)
  • Longest Day of the Year:  Wednesday, June 21, 2023, – Summer Solstice | 101 days
  • 4th of July – Monday  | 114 days
  • Shortest Day of the Year 2021 – Thursday, December 21, 2023, | 284 days – Winter Solstice

If you haven’t made your plans to be here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, now is the time to look at your calendar and figure out your trips for the rest of the year!

If you live in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Tahoe City area, it’s time to move your clocks forward Sunday, March 12, 2023!

SnowFest 2023 – North Lake Tahoe      

SnowFest 2023 - North Lake Tahoe

The Annual SnowFest 2023 North Lake Tahoe Snow Festival will start its winter fun on Thursday, March 2, 2023 and end on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

The North Lake Tahoe snow festival event planners and volunteers work all year long to make this winter experience one of the very best!  

It’s hard to believe that this annual event began back in the spring of 1982 and is still going strong  over forty years later in 2023!

While the North Lake Tahoe SnowFest event has become one of the largest winter carnival events in the western United States I think one of its best features is how they combine fun events and activies with local fund-raisers for our organizations that do so much for our community.

Tahoe City Fireworks

This has always been one of my favorite local events that we have in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area and I hope it becomes one of yours too!

This is the very best of small-town living and it is why the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area is a top second home market and visitor destination!

SnowFest 2023 – North Lake Tahoe 

Spring Forward – Time Change | Sunday, March 13, 2022

March 12, 2022 By Laura Allen, Tahoe REALTOR, 530-414-1260, CalRE# 01473598

Spring Forward - Time Change | Sunday, March 13, 2022

Spring Forward – Time Change | Sunday, March 13, 2022

It is time to Spring Forward and change your clocks by moving the time forward one hour!

This Sunday, March 13, 2022, you will need to change your clocks by one hour if you live in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area!

It’s been a long winter, and I am ready for more sunshine and a move towards warmer, longer days!

On Sunday, March 13, 2022 (the change happens on the second Sunday in March), we will all need to move our clocks forward one hour (yes, an extra hour of daylight at the end of our days, and one less hour of sleep) as we start daylight savings time here in our area.

Before the time changes, on Saturday, March 12, 2022, sunset will be at 6:05 p.m. Once we spring forward on Sunday, March 13, 2022, sunset will be an hour later at 7:06 p.m.!

Remember before you go to bed on Saturday night, you’ll need to set any manual clocks ahead one hour!

Since we have the twice a year clock change, here is my list of things additional tasks to do on Spring Forward day:

  • Change clocks in our home, office, kitchen (microwave and oven), and cars (move forward one hour).  Yes, we still have some manual clocks that do not reset on their own. : )
  • Check smoke alarms It doesn’t hurt to make sure they are all working and replace those that don’t respond.  Since most have multiple-year batteries in them, replace those that are older.  You should have one alarm in each sleeping area, and in a common area on each floor.
  • Check all carbon monoxide alarms/detectors Again, just a quick check to make sure they are still working.  You should have at least one carbon monoxide alarm/detector on each floor.
  • Fire extinguishers (check to make sure they haven’t been moved and/or damaged).  This is also a good time to buy and add another one and put it in a room that doesn’t already have one. If you add one each time we have the time change, the additional expense is easier on your budget.
  • Any security device or item that uses a battery and is wireless (security cameras, video doorbells, exterior/interior lights) that need to be changed every 6 months to a year. 
  • All Flashlights (working, extra batteries), candles, matches, lighters, short-term lighting devices. 
  • Back-up charger device for cell phones/laptops (if they have a solar option for re-charging that’s always a bonus).  There are a number of extra power devices that can hold a charge for up to a year, but now it a good to check and re-charge.
  • Canned goods/emergency food supplies You never know when you might not be able to go to the store, so if you haven’t checked your emergency food and daily living supplies (bottled water, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, etc.), now is the time to check those supplies, rotate old out – new in, and other supplies are on hand.
  • Make sure you have the following:
    • Get a battery-operated radio
    • Get a small TV that can be powered by connecting to just a USB port device that works on an antenna (free tv – news and information in an emergency, or power outage)
    • Get the TV antenna device that will work with a digital TV that can get us the free national channels.  You never know when the cable could go down.
    • Create a fire evacuation emergency plan.  Have you designated a location outside of the Tahoe Basin – Truckee area that everyone will/can meet at, or someone to call to let everyone know you are alright that lives outside of the area?  Having a plan in place before an emergency is critical if you spend time in our area.
    • Figure out your “grab bags” – items to take with you if you had to leave the area with just a few minutes of notice.  I have put together a list of items throughout our home to take.  Knowing what the item is, and what room it is located in can save you a lot of time and give you your best opportunity to get those items in a “must leave” situation. 
      • Having your bags partially loaded, along with the “grab and go list” makes you more prepared for that emergency event.  Now is the time to do these critical tasks for that “just in case” emergency moment.

For those not as familiar with the Lake Tahoe –  Tahoe City  – Truckee areas some of our important utility lines (electric, cable, phone) are located above ground, and several times a year the power will go out for all different types of reasons, so being prepared for a “no power situation” is a must.

We are also located in a high-fire zone.  The reminder to be prepared for a disaster (wildfire) and having everyone in your house-hold familiar with what to do if the worst-case situation should happen is very important, so make your emergency plans now.

Take advantage of this timely reminder to not only change your clocks but to do some routine safety checks, along with being proactive on your emergency home preparation plans for that just in case moment!

Upcoming future dates to keep in mind (number of days are from March 13, 2022):

  • Next time Change:  Sunday, November 6, 2022, | 238 days (Fall Back and Gain One Hour)
  • Longest Day of the Year:  Tuesday, June 21, 2022, – Summer Solstice | 100 days
  • 4th of July – Monday  | 113 days
  • Shortest Day of the Year 2021 – Wednesday, December 21, 2022, | 283 days – Winter Solstice

If you haven’t made your plans to be here in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, now is the time to look at your calendar and figure out your trips for the rest of the year!

If you live in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Tahoe City area, it’s time to move your clocks forward this Sunday, March 14, 2021!

SnowFest 2022 - North Lake TahoeThe 40th Annual SnowFest 2022 North Lake Tahoe Snow Festival will start its winter fun on Thursday, February 24, 2022.

It’s hard to believe that this annual event began back in the spring of 1982 and is still going strong forty years later in 2022!

The North Lake Tahoe SnowFest event has become one of the largest winter carnival events in the western United States.

Snowfest has made the North Lake Tahoe-Truckee area the place to be for winter fun at the end of February – beginning of March with fun events, and activities for everyone!

It is a great way for everyone to celebrate our winter season and the beginning of Spring Skiing!

The North Lake Tahoe snow festival event planners work all year long to make this winter experience one that brings people back to the North Lake Tahoe area year after year.

This has always been one of my favorite local events that we have in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area and I hope it becomes one of yours too!

SnowFest 2022 – North Lake Tahoe 

Time Change – Fall Back Sunday, November 7, 2021

November 7, 2021 By Laura Allen, Tahoe REALTOR, 530-414-1260, CalRE# 01473598

Time Change – Fall Back Sunday, November 7, 2021

Time Change - Fall Back Sunday, November 7, 2021It’s hard to believe it’s time to change our clocks – again!  

Yes, we still have manual wall clocks in our home that still require someone to move the hands to the new correct time.

So tonight I have set them back one hour in anticipation of the 2 a.m. time change on Sunday morning!

As the old saying goes “Fall Back” (gain an hour) and in the Spring, “Spring forward (lose an hour).

It’s been another year of so many changes, and so many “new normals”.  It is hard to believe that it is November and that tonight we lose an hour of daylight at the end of the day.

If you live, or have a home here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area you will need to change your clocks on either Saturday evening before you go to bed, or first thing on Sunday morning.

Are you ready for the semi-annual time change – Fall Back Sunday, November 7, 2021?

Here’s my list of things to do this weekend:

  • Change Time Setting our traditional and digital clocks in our home, office, and cars (turn back one hour). 
  • Smoke alarms.  Check all smoke alarms to make sure they are still working.  Did you remember to write the date placed in service on the back of the device?  An easy way to keep track of how old they are and if they need to be replaced.  It’s easy to check all smoke alarms to make sure they are still working. It is recommended that you have a smoke alarm in each bedroom, and outside in the hall, along with having at least one on each floor.  
  • Carbon monoxide alarms/detectors should all be checked to make sure they are still working.  While you are only required to have a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor, I’ve been adding a new carbon monoxide alarm to each room in our home.  Again, write the date you put the alarm into service so you’ll know when to replace it.
  • Fire extinguishers (check to make sure they haven’t been moved and/or damaged).  
  • Security devices or Items that use a battery and are wireless (security cameras, video doorbells, exterior/interior lights), yes, it is time to check them to make sure they are secure and still have plenty of battery life.
  • Flashlights (working, extra batteries), candles, matches, lighters, short-term lighting devices.  Having a flashlight in each room and by each door is easy to do and makes it easy to find when you need them.  Recent power outages remind me that the power can go out at any time, so it helps to be prepared.
  • Back-up charger devices for cell phones/laptops (if they have a solar option for re-charging that’s always a bonus) are out and fully charged.
  • Canned goods/emergency food supplies – We’ve been pretty good about rotating our inventory, but it’s time to have more items on hand, especially with the recent supply shortages.  Are you prepared for an extended emergency?  
  • Batteries –  Flashlights, and other items require batteries and in checking our supply we were out of AAA batteries.  Recent supply shortages are a reminder to re-stock up as soon as possible to be ready for the upcoming winter season.
  • Photos | New on my list this year is to take photographs of our home, property, contents in closets, kitchen, etc… so we’ll have evidence on the condition and contents for our insurance company, just in case something happens. 
  • Insurance | Time to call our insurance broker to make sure we have enough coverage to rebuild.  Building costs have skyrocketed in the great North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, and we’ve made more improvements, so it is important to make sure our cost to rebuild on a per square foot basis is accurate.  We also want to make sure we’ve met the 80%+ insured value and are not underinsured, which could cause us to not be fully insured.  If you haven’t spoken to your insurance broker in a while, make the call and make sure you’re up-to-date.
  • Evacuation plan |  We live within a high wildfire area and the wildfires in South Lake Tahoe in August and September were a big wake-up call and a reminder to plan ahead.  If you haven’t mapped out several ways out of your Tahoe home and area, now is the time to do so. 
    • Have you established a meet-up location outside of the area? 
    • Have you identified a friend/family member that lives outside of the area that everyone can call and check in with once they are in a safe place?
    • Taking a few minutes now to make sure your household has an emergency plan, and you know what to do once you are in a safe place, can provide peace of mind later knowing that everyone is safe and it will allow you to work on the next steps of reuniting. 

Now is the time to make sure you are organized and ready for the next season, or challenge in life!

Take advantage of this timely reminder to not only change your clocks but to do some routine safety checks, along with taking care of your final fall/winter home preparation!

Upcoming future dates to keep in mind from Sunday, November 7, 2021:

  • Next time Change:  Sunday, March 13, 2022 – 127 days (Spring Forward and Lose One Hour)
  • Shortest Day of the Year:  Tuesday, December 21, 2021, | Winter Solstice – 45 days
  • New Year’s Day January 1, 2022 –  56 days (beginning of a new year)
  • Longest Day of the Year 2022 – Tuesday, June 21, 2022 | 227 days | Summer Solstice
  • Next Fall Time Change:  Sunday, November 6, 2022 – 365 days (Fall Back and Gain that Extra Hour – Again!)

It has been another uncertain year, and now more than ever we need to make a point to make the most of each day moving forward! 

If you live in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Tahoe City area, it’s time to set your clocks back this Sunday, November 7, 2021!
