Does St. Martin put their clocks back one hour on Oct. 31 for day light savings or is that only in the U.S.? Thanks

It's not "just a US Thing" as many countries around the world do move their clocks.
Conversely certain areas in the US do not.
St. Maartin does not. Areas that choose not to change are often located on the western edge of their respective time zone.
Even more confusing is when there are international time zones that are offset by 30 minutes.
I think the real key here is that Happy Hour will still start at the same time.

Jane315, if you do it on Oct. 31, you will be a day early (if on the main land) as it doesn't take effect until Nov. 1. just saying.....the rock doesn't practice such tomfoolery with the time, as they are always on island time....lol

... But only if you don't live in Saskatchewan or parts of B.C. They get to happy hour sooner!
