So we experienced 1am twice last night. Now how does that work if something has to be recorded? Say police reports for one. There is an incident at 1:30am... 45 minutes later there is another incident at 1:15am. How is that noted?

Good question. I'm not sure. But it makes a solid case for everything to use UTC.

psh. W/out DST, we don't get 20 Hours In America.

I want to know how timecards worked for last night.

Also, bars that close at 2 a.m. would close, then reopen, then close an hour later.

Unknown said...

They would never actually close. The clock rolls from 1:59 to 1:00.
