What time zone do you live in?

[STLmapboy]

I reside in the Central timezone, have all my life. I've been to all six US state timezones.

[KeithE4Phx]

I put "other," because Arizona doesn't observe daylight time, other than the Navajo Nation.  It's called Mountain Standard Time year-round, but for the purposes of real life (like live TV/sports), it's Mountain time between early November and early March, and Pacific time the rest of the year.

In any case, Arizona time is UTC-7 all the time.

[KEVIN_224]

Eastern. Connecticut native and two stints in Maine.

Daylight saving time isn't observed in Hawaii or Puerto Rico either. Some people proposed putting Maine on Atlantic standard time year round, just like Puerto Rico. Lastly, I was told that British Columbia will go to permanent Pacific daylight time.

Year round AST can't come soon enough. If only anyone was just willing to do it without saying: "We need to wait for all of the east coast" 

[Rothman]

I want EDT year-round.

We all know what this thread will devolve into...

[STLmapboy]

You all know what I mean. EST and EDT, CST and CDT, MST and MDT, PST and PDT. Those are the four categories (plus the other two). There should be no further discussion of DST here.

And, for the purposes of this thread, Arizona is Mountain.

Do we have any members from the Atlantic Time part of Canada?

[CNGL-Leudimin]

My vote is legitimately for Other, since my real time zone is Central... Europe . I state I use Eastern, or more precisely 6 hours behind my time (to account for different DST start/end dates), for this forum's purposes, but in practice I seldom use it. Heck, I even track Big Rig Steve around the country using my time zone!

Central time, the best of all of them/

False. Mountain time is the best time zone in existence.

Although I currently live in Eastern.

Then change at least two of us from "Other" to Mountain.

I don't know what is more frustrating- changing your clock twice a year, or having your time zone change on you twice a year.

[kphoger]

Why did people put "other" just because their state doesn't observe DST?  Did the choices on the poll used to specify "standard time" but now they don't?  All they say for me is "Central" or "Mountain" or whatever–don't specify "Standard" at all.

At least one, from Nova Scotia.

Probably nobody from the Newfoundland time zone.

Agreed.  Having lived in all of the main four in the U.S., I think Mountain is the best.  Sports are timed just about perfectly and you're not more than three hours away from anyone else in the U.S..

All of you are wrong. Pacific is best because you cannot beat its geographic diversity. Fight me.

NFL games shouldn't begin at 10 AM.  That's at least a couple of hours before beer o'clock.

I am part of the group that was listening to the last part of the program time when commercials for shows/sporting events were on TV.

"At 8:00/7:00 Central"

I'm not here to discuss facts and evidence.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

No, but I can't change poll results. Poll takers can remove their own votes and revote.

You've been to both Alaska and Hawaii at age 16?  Must be nice.

[tolbs17]

Eastern.

[hbelkins]

This thread is calling for me to again express my absolute hatred for Central time and my desire for year-round DST.

I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, on the western edge of it. Before Wayne County was moved from Central to Eastern, I was only four counties away from a Central Time Zone county (Wayne borders Pulaski, Pulaski borders Laurel, Laurel borders Jackson, and Jackson borders Lee.)
