Skoots where you are is EDT. Eastern Standard time is between September and April (round about) and we changed to EDT (eastern daylight time) about three weeks ago. Everyone who was on EST is now on EDT.

Some places do not change the clocks for Daylight Savings, like Indianapolis, so those places are basically still on EST. If you turned your clock ahead one hour 11 days ago, then you are on EDT. If you DID NOT turn your clock ahead one hour 11 days ago, then you are on EST (which is the same as CDT). So, there are places in the Eastern timezone that are one hour ahead of other places in the Eastern timezone and will be for the next 6 months. Post what your current time is and we can help you based on the board timestamp on the post.

CANADA TIME ZONES Canada uses six primary time zones. From east to west they are Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone, and the Pacific Time Zone. Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in April. On the last Sunday in October area on Daylight Saving Time fall back to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. The names in each time zone change along with Daylight Saving Time. Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and so forth. Some areas of Canada not using Daylight Saving Time include, Fort St. John, Charlie Lake, Taylor and Dawson Creek in British Columbia, Creston in the East Kootenays, and most of Saskatchewan (except Denare Beach and Creighton). GMT is the code for (Greenwich Mean Time) also called UTC = Coordinated Universal Time. The (-9h) in Alaskan Standard Time refers to that time zone being nine hours behind UTC or GMT and so forth for the other Time Zones.
