This winter has been brutal for the Binghamton area leaving most of us with cabin fever.  If you’re looking forward to some warmer weather and a chance to get out for a change we have some good news for you.

Spring is almost here and this weekend we set our clocks ahead an hour. Yes, we’re finally one step closer to that sunshine we’re all craving! Of course that means we lose an hour of sleep but on the bright side longer nights are always nice to enjoy this time of year!

What are some activities you could do at night with the daylight savings time?

Check out our list of ideas below:

Get Moving: Maybe your idea of utilizing the extra hour or so of daylight is a simple walk or bike ride around the block to relieve some of that after-work stress.

Homebound: Don’t feel like going too far? How about shooting some hoops in your driveway. Basketball is always fun at night!

Movie Date: Spring has sprung which means in no time the drive-in movies will be open. There’s one located in Unadilla.
