What Time Is It In Europe?
Much of the civilized world went on DayLight Savings Time last Sat night - at least America did - much earlier than before
I think europe goes on DST later - when is it or are Europeans already on Daylight Savings or Energy Savings Time?
For me i only hope that extra hour of sunlight helps melt the huge snowpiles outside my door!

For me this means I only have to adjust to a five hour time change on the way to Paris next week instead of a six hour one, unless I've confused myself trying to figure it out. So I'm all for it, I think.

Oh, I can see where this is headed . . . .
Europe and America both cover several time zones.
But even if you use the UK as the European measure, parts of America are 7 hours behind at the moment, but other parts are only 3 hours behind (Buenos Aires).
Then there's Newfoundland, which is 2 1/2 hours behind.
But if we're talking about the civilized world, I think we have yet to see that come to fruition anywhere on the planet as far as I can tell.

Why would Oz spring forward at the beginning of autumn? Indeed, why would anyone expect ANY system of daylight saving in tropical Australia? Or haven't Americans learned about southern hemisphere seasons?
As you might imagine, though, the non-tropical states in Australia (apart from Tasmania which always has to be different) put their clocks forward when Europe puts theirs back. And put them back when we put them forward. Queensland and NT don't, of course, mess round like this. They keep God's time all year.
