Time of change (Score:2)

An additional complication you didn't mention is that according to http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html [webexhibits.org], the European time zones all change at once, at 01:00 UTC, whereas in the US each time zone changes at 02:00 local time.

  Dog! Europe changes at 1 a.m. UTC? I thought it too was local time, I didn't read it carefully enough. I'll leave it where it is though; people can be off an hour or three a year. :)

    I was in Ukraine for the DST this year and didn't even notice it due to the 8-hours of jetlag. :) I arrived the very day of the changeover, and was there for the one week the country is off from my timezone by seven instead of by eight. At the very moment my home CST timezone changed I was standing in Kiev looking at a huge monument to Vladimir.
