All:

 

Beginning today, the US has transitioned to Daylight Savings Time (DST).  Please remember that FiF sessions have always, and will always, begin at 2:00 pm Eastern/US time, regardless of whether it's Standard or DST.

 

Previously this year, all sessions, having started at 2:00 pm EST (1400), began at 7:00 pm (1900) GMT/UTC.

 

The next session, taking place on March 16, begins at 2:00 pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time).  This coincides with 6:00 pm (1800) GMT/UTC.

 

Please take care to consider your relationship to GMT/UTC in your local time zone, so you don't show up too early, or miss the first hour of the March 16 session.

 

Later, when countries in the rest of the world transition to DST, if you are outside the US, it will again affect your start time, back to being what it normally was for you.  However, your start time may be different until then.

 

Remember that US/Eastern time will continue to be GMT/UTC - 4 until US time returns to Standard time next fall, when it returns to GMT/UTC - 5.

 

S!

I'm soooo confused....    

 

Wish everyone would just mark time by the position of the sun. When the sun apparently reaches its highest point in the sky is Noon... so simple.

There are resolutions in several states to abolish DST. I am so on-board with that!

Thanks for notice. EU DST starts the last weekend in March. Now I understand my confusion last spring

Yeah I heard we might not switch back this year! That'd be excellent!
