Here in the US, we are going to LOSE an hour of daylight at the end of the day, not gain it. We go back to "regular" time.
And I assume that those in the southern hemisphere are just now starting DST and will gain an hour in their spring days.
You assume correctly ... here in Victoria we have started DST, it is spring, and we have "gained" an hour of daylight in the evenings. WooHoo!!
And yes, the whole DST thing varies between countries and within countries. Just like not all Canadian provinces change their time, not all Australian states change their time either.
Here's a chart of the DST situation around the world:

Continuing with the topic of the thread ... who else is out riding this weekend?
Has it started to get too cold for decent rides up in Canada and the northern states?
