    Glad I checked…I’m in the US and handle all the clocks in the Science Center I work at. Glad I believed myself that it was next week for me…

      I had to check and it is tonight that the clocks change in Europe. I wasn’t really aware that the US didn’t change time on the same schedule as us. In fact, before 1996 even European countries did not change time in sync with each other.

      In any case, I’m just thankful all my clocks take care of it themselves these days - I only have clocks on my phone and computers, and many times I don’t even realise the clocks have changed until I bump into someone who tells me and that can be the following day 😁

        George W moved the timing for DST to be longer than standard. Used to be synced with Europe’s shift.
