According to my calculations, it is based on central time. Or can somebody from either coast or the Rockies tell me that is sensitive to the time zone of the viewer?

DavidGP · Dec 31, 2009

Hi Brandy

Its local time to your time zone, as in UK going this it comes up as 5hrs 30min left to midnight, which is correct, give or take a few seconds now as I have been typing this out.

Okay, anybody out there, or in here, from a place where the NY has already arrived?

Halo, I saw your Australian colonies celebrate early this morning on the news.

^^^ They seemed to have one spectacular show also. I was amazed at the fireworks. :dood

Yep the Aussies do put on a great show on the Harbour Bridge in Sydney, must look on TV later to see if London is doing anything (weather permitting) dont think where I'm from does too much these days, maybe some fireworks in city or if wind is right many of the ships in the port do blast off their horns, but as I'm 10miles from the port not always hear it.

What I was trying to find out was what does the google clock say in a part of the world already in the new year.

Guess they're all in bed, hungover most likely.

"They" say over 1 million people watched the Sydney fireworks (around Sydney) and many more million around the World. New Zealand is one of the first countries to welcome in a New Year (around 2 hours earlier than the East coastal cities of OZ). Not sure about daylight saving time in NZ, though.

New Zealand Standard Time is currently defined in the Time Act 1974 as meaning the 12 hours in advance of Co-ordinated Universal Time. The Department of Internal Affairs administers the Act.

Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving commences on the last Sunday in September, when 2.00am becomes 3.00am, and ends on the first Sunday in April the following year, when 3.00am becomes 2.00am.

* Daylight Saving began again on Sunday 27 September 2009 (when clocks went forward one hour).
* It ends on Sunday 4 April 2010 (when clocks go back one hour).

Interesting tidbit about Antarctica-

Antarctica

The Antarctic Peninsula (Palmer Station) uses Chile's time zone, but the rest of the continent does not. Rothera, a British base, does not implement daylight saving, but instead remains GMT -3. U.S. bases, including both McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, use New Zealand's time zone and daylight saving dates.
