minus-squareSkasi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoI think you mean Standard Time? Winter time is when the clock is set back one additional hour, ie -2h when compared to Summer Time (a.k.a. Daylight Saving Time).
minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoWe call standard time winter time here. I just complained about it to my wife yesterday, that we are NOT switching to winter time. We are switching back to standard time. But everybody calls it winter time.
