    Florida time change?

    I occasionally look on Wesh weather to see what the weather is doing in Florida on the web cam, I have noticed the last 2 mornings when I have looked, the time difference isn't 5 hours as usual but, 4!!
    Just looked, our time was 09.17, the Web cam was 05.17? Do they alter their clocks like we do?

    US daylight saving dates changed this year to second sunday in March (so their clocks changed last weekend). They will next change first sunday in November, (later than ours).

    We left Florida last Saturday and the last thing we did before leaving was to put all the clocks forward 1 hour.[msncry]

    We have these clever clock radios in the bedrooms that automatically change. One less thing to have to remember. [msncool]

    USA has always changed the clocks one week after us but this year for the first time they changed the clocks last weekend. I watched a programme the other night that said that the banks etc had not been informed of the change so they were having a number of problems. They said the reason for the earlier change was to save money - saving power as it would then stay lighter longer at night.

    Would your MC or cleaners perhaps notice this and alter them for you?
