And if you're calling the UK don't forget that they don't change until March 27!

So that means for a couple of weeks they are only 5 hours ahead of us and instead of calling the in-laws at 9.00 on Sunday I should call them at 10.00 right ? I got this wrong last year, I just can't get my head round time differences .

Know what you mean! -- they are usually five hours, so for the next couple of weeks it will be only four hours. So yes, you would call them an hour later than usual.

we are normally 5 hours behind. when we go forward before they do - we will be only 4 hours behind. So calling them at 10am will be 2pm their time this sunday and then next. The following week it reverts back to 5 hours ahead so calling at 9am here will be 2 pm there.

No doubt, huh? I was whining, but I just had an email from a custy in Vermont and she said they had 30 inches of snow on Monday?!
I have to be careful with the 'happy Spring' sign offs...



You can set up multiple clocks on your computer's timekeeper down there in the bottom right corner. That helps me keep Arizona straight, since they're always out of step with me (except for when they are not).

My phone is set up to show me the time in three different timezones. It will come in very handy over the next few weeks.
