FP - Eastern STANDARD time?

[Lovetherodent]

So, if FP opens up at 7 eastern standard, what does that mean for someone in a state that uses daylight savings time?

Whenever it is 7am on the east coast, that's when the window opens. East uses daylight savings time too...that's what it is right now.

It's not eastern standard time.
It's whatever eastern time is in when you are making them.
The second Sunday in March through the first Saturday in November is eastern daylights savings time and the first Sunday in November through the second Saturday in March is eastern standard time.

Since FL does go with daylight savings, I would think this only gets confusing if you are somewhere where they don't. If all else fails, google to see what the current local time is in Florida and then you'll know for sure your time difference.

Many people don’t know that there’s a difference in stating “Daylight Time” and “Standard Time,” so they tend to just say “Standard Time” for all cases.

Lord help us all if Florida ever votes to keep daylight savings time year round. There was serious talk about it last year but haven't heard much since then.

Make sure it is northwest time as part of northeast FL is in central time

I for one really hope this happens I will be voting yes but can see the confusion if this does happen

I know you mean to say northwest, but just in case to avoid confusion.

Actually, there is no such thing (at least in the US) as "northwest time".

I *think* you mean to say...

Make sure it is EASTERN time as part of NORTHWEST FL is in central time

 

[bumbershoot]

It's whatever eastern time is in when you are making them.

Yep.

Rather than saying the silly dst etc things, just say it’s x time in Orlando. Easier.

I would just listen to this guy...

FL lawmakers already passed the law and it was signed by the governor. It's up to congress to decide if FL can opt of out standard time.

If FL wanted to opt out of DST, they could do so with needing congressional approval.
