Could someone please help me with time zone conversion?

Post #309,575 by Nightowl 6/11/09 3:44:22 PM Reply	Could someone please help me with time zone conversion? They are going to take their Yahoo group sites down today for maintenance, and I don't understand the times they are giving. Can someone please translate what "between 2 and 3 pm PDT (10-11 pm GMT) and last for up to an hour" means? Is it maybe 2-3 p.m. Pacific Time maybe? How does that translate to Central Standard? And I know what GMT is, it's Greenwich Mt time, but I don't know how to translate that either. I only know how to translate Eastern Time into Central Time I subtract one hour.

The outage will start at between 4 and 5 pm CDT That means I have another hour if I'm right. Thanks!

If you do a Google search for "current time in Los Angeles" it returns as its first answer: 1:33pm Thursday (PDT) - Time in Los Angeles, California If you do a Google search for "current time in St. Louis" it returns: 3:34pm Thursday (CDT) - Time in St. Louis, Missouri So, PDT is 2 hours behind CDT. Thus, 2-3pm PDT is noon-1pm in St. Louis. If you're not on Daylight Saving Time, then move the time back one hour (11-noon). HTH. Cheers, Scott.

Thanks for the info though, Scott, I appreciate it. Didn't know I could put sentence fragments into Google, just words.
