Dont' forget daylight savings time is tonight. We bump up an hour at 2am EST.
I have snow flurries and they want me to feel springy? Too early but the time here on PSC will be correct.

Remember Arizona and Hawaii don't participate. But yes spring ahead 1 hour. Or you will feel silly tomorrow when your an hour late. Or for some who wouldn't notice till Monday morning and being late for work!

I guess that Arizona folks are thrilled when it's standard time they don't have to figure the time constantly if they travel out of the state.
I lived a couple of years in Chattanooga which is EST but alot of my co-workers lived in Alabama about 30 minutes away and they were on Central time and it always caused them headaches to figure out the time, some of them just lived on EST since they worked on it.
why in heck we are jumping ahead this early in the year I don't know. I would really prefer just staying on daylight time all the time instead of revertng back and forth. I used to work 12 hour shifts in a hospital and you'd have to be there at 545 instead of 645 in the am and they would not pay for the extra hour. It really sucked.

You will have to set your clock from 2am PSC time to 3am psc timne at 2am psc time. PSC does not always manage to reset it's clocks at that time, or even the same day, or even the same week.

psc time was never corrected for standard time so whatever you have it set for now micose bump it one hour up _ at least on the forums it's a hour behind, not sure about the contest submission.. currently we are behind one hour from all forum postings but tomorrow we will be perfect with the forum times.

Remember, you have to manually set the time you see in the forums. It's in your profile settings. PSC chat time is correct (sets automatically).
Also remember that when Procyon first took over PSC and moved the site to his own servers, he wound up staggering some of the automatic updates since having them all happen at the same time was causing daily down time. More likely than not, most PSC (automatic) clocks will be reset within the next 24 hours (if they're not already) after all the automatic updates have caught up with each other.
The time changes cause confusion every year, twice a year, especially in a global communtiy. Yes, US Daylight Saving Time is earlier and lasts longer than it used to. Last year was the first year for this extension. Bush signed a bill two or three years ago to make this change, in an effort for energy conservation. Ironically, some new study I heard about shows we spend MORE energy on Daylight Saving Time because people run their air conditioners longer with longer daylight hours.
The time is now 8:41 EDT.
