It is a phrase used to help people remember which way to adjust the clocks when switching between daylight saving and standard time.
"Spring forward" takes place in the Spring of the year and means you adjust the clock one hour forward.
"Fall back" happens in the fall (autumn) and means you adjust the clock backward one hour.
Advancing clocks by an hour during the summer months has the effect of shifting an hour of daylight that we're sleeping through in the morning to the evening when we're active. That conserves resources by decreasing the time that we light our homes. Some argue, however, that the savings from the decreased use of lighting in the evenings are cancelled by the cost of the increased use of air conditioning in the afternoon. Perhaps as prices continue to drop on compact fluorescent lights and LED lights Daylight Saving Time will soon be a thing of the past.
That is a mnemonic device to help people remember which direction to adjust their clocks for Daylight Saving Time (a.k.a. Summer Time). Normally Daylight Saving Time starts in the spring; at that time clocks are advanced one hour (except for one island in the south Pacific Ocean that adjusts their clocks a half hour ahead for Daylight Saving Time). At the end of DST in the fall, clocks are adjusted backward one hour.
The second Sunday in March is when the clocks spring forward for Daylight Saving Time. This happens at 2 a.m. Eastern time.
When it's spring, the hour goes forward.
