       Daylights Savings Time for the US
       By: Jack Date: March 8, 2020, 4:36 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As a reminder, our members in the US are on a new time starting
       today.  Adric put together a helpful reminder for us
       [quote author=Adric link=action=profile;u=4 date=1583605333]
       Daylight Saving Time in Europe
       1.
       2.
       Daylight Saving Time in the United States
       3.
       March)
       4.
       November)
       Spring:
       The last Sunday in March and the second Sunday in March are 3
       weeks apart this year, so between 03/08/20 and 03/29/20
       Europeans perceive regularly scheduled events in the U.S. (Chat)
       as occurring one hour EARLIER than before or after those dates.
       In some years (e.g. 2021) the period of discrepancy in the
       spring lasts two weeks rather than 3 weeks.
       Fall:
       The last Sunday in October and the first Sunday in November are
       always 1 week apart, so between 10/25/20 and 11/01/20 Europeans
       perceive regularly scheduled events in the U.S. (Chat) as
       occurring one hour EARLIER than before or after those dates.

       What this means is that the US (thus this forum, since your
       admin is in the US) will be running one our later (spring
       forward, so it's 4:35 as I right this, not 3:35 as it would have
       been yesterday) for the next three weeks.
       Thanks to Adric for putting together the helpful chart and
       reminding me that George Dubya screwed things up for the entire
       world.
