We switch when you switch, Tim--2 a.m. Sunday morning (30 Oct), to be
exact. That's why Judy wrote "EST", the "S" for "Standard"; our summer time
is EDT ("D" for "Daylight").

Actually, there's a subtle difference. All of Europe switches at 0200
UTC (GMT), regardless of local time. Over here, we all switch at 2am
local time, so there's a ripple effect.

Of course, since 99.9% of us sleep through the change, it's a moot
point. (And no need to debate the meaning of moot again!)
