I'd like to welcome the east coast back to standard time. And for one hour, it is the same time in Minneapolis as it is in New York.

Also remember that if you're in the Eastern Standard Time, you're clock at S2K should be now UTC -5 hours, and not UTC - 4 hours.

I wonder how they deal with that extra hour in history as? Do they call it 1:00 am (1) and 1:00 am (2)?

Most of that sort of thing is dealt off of UTC--which DST doesn't affect.

As senor said, the world's official time is not affected. However, some events have happened during that time of night. I once saw a news briefing of a crime that happened as the change was taking place. The police said something along the lines of "The first call came in at 1:50 Eastern daylight time, the suspect was apprehended at 1:10 Eastern standard time, or 20 minutes later."

I've also heard the hours referred to as "the first occurrence of 1 AM" and "second occurrence of 1 AM."

But, official time is measured using Greenwich Mean Time, which is not a time zone, it's an average of how long it takes the earth to go around day by day.

That slipped my mind for some reason but if an event took place during that time, usually they don't use UTC time in books and TV media for example (weather information would offically use UTC no doubt).
