Daylight Savings Time: Spring Forward Reminder

Reminder to our customers that Daylight Savings Time will become effective at 2:00am this Sunday, March 14, 2010.

That’s true for the U.S., of course, but it should also be noted that Europe springs forward on March 28, as my colleague Margarida Correia pointed out in a note to our staff. So for those communicating between U.S. and Europe:

From 14 March to 27 March, the time difference between:

· New York and London/Lisbon will be four hours
· New York and Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam will be five hours

Beginning on 28 March, the time difference between:

· New York and London/Lisbon will be five hours
· New York and Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam will be six hours

For me, the thought of springing ahead brings two other happy words to mind.

Base.

Ball!

Have a good weekend.
