Accurate, detailed time zone borders for North America, including Daylight Saving time observance and unofficial local exceptions to official time. Magenta lines represent constant time zone borders. Cyan (light blue) lines represent those that apply only during Daylight Saving Time. Dark blue lines apply only during Standard Time. Lime green lines represent unofficial local exceptions. Dark green lines represent the official border in areas where there is an unofficial border. More data formats available at http://OnTimeZone.com . This map reflects release 8.0.

I realized (as I was commuting) this morning, that some people must live near timezone borders.

How does that work for you? Do you think in work time at home? Home time at work?

It must be easier these days with smartphones and smart watches automatically adjusting time according to you location?

Share your experience please, I’m curious!

      Stop observing.

      They’ve been trying to remain DST, but you need federal approval, and some states have been waiting a decade or longer for that. States can stay standard time on their own accord.

          The bill they passed would keep us on standard time though, so you’re still stuck with 4:30pm sunsets in Dec/Jan. I’d rather stick with the current system until we can get permanent DST.

            Yeah, given my druthers I’d rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I’ll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

              I’m with you. Also, everyone talks about early sunsets being the worst, but personally I find it way easier to wake up to sunlight so I’d rather have the daylight in the morning. I would miss the late summer sun though. A little. Not enough to want to change my clocks though. It’s bad enough for adults, but anyone with children or a dog suffer even more. My kids are not babies anymore but it was the worst when they were, and it’s still not great now.
