Fellow TACos,
I thought I understood UT very well indeed, until I read how to determine
local time from UT in April's S&T. They say that to calculate PST from
UT, subtract eight hours. Okay, I'm good with that. But then they say
that when we're in DST, to subtract one hour -less- than this, in other
words, subtract seven hours instead of eight.
When we changed to DST this past weekend, we moved our clocks back.
Doesn't this mean that we would subtract one hour -more- to determine
local time from UT, in other words, subtract nine hours instead of eight?
Example: to determine PST for 18:00 UT, subtract eight hours = 10:00 PST.
Last weekend, we moved our clocks -back- an hour for PDT, so for the same
UT of 18:00, our clocks now read 09:00 PDT. Therefore, to determine local
time PDT, we need to subtract nine hours, not seven.
Am I trippin?
Cheers,
Paul Sterngold
