| Who on TA turns their clocks forward at 02:00 on 2002/04/07? We (USA) do it... I know that the GMT timezone does NOT do it and the same goes in Japan and China as well! Who else DOES "Spring Forward" and who does NOT do it? |

You're right: Arizona and EAST Indiana does NOT move their clocks forward at 02:00 on 2002/04/07! Everyone in the world does NOT do it! Some do it at different times. Like in Iran. I heard that they do it a month before US (Early March) and at 03:00, NOT 02:00. I heard that in Australia, during ONE of the Daylight Savings periods (I forgot wether if it's when they End or Begin), the country splits 2 of their timezones in half, creating 2 more! Aust. has 5 timezones during this period, each seperated by 45 minutes. Who can explain this in a better fashin??? |

"Spring Forward" and "Fall Back" are old sayings for DST beginning and Ending. It means that we move the clocks FORWARD in the Spring and we move the clocks BACK in the Fall. See? SPRING forward. FALL back. Get it? |
