Default time change?

Tonight there is a time change in the USA, I think the clocks are moving forward one hour. Is there also the same change in Mexico tonight? Or does that happen one week later?

Thanks.

Changes are the same here. We're all still waiting for Arizona to follow suit.

Depends on where in Mexico. Here in Baja California Sur we don't change to DST until April 7.

I always get DST wrong in Baja and it never seems to matter. I just stay on the same time as my DirecTV receiver.

Jeopardy is my clock. All else is time and meaningless.

Yeah, but I hate it when I have to chase the truck down the street with my bag of trash because I missed the pickup.

Does anyone really know what time it is? My DirecTV Sprung forward, but my TelNor DSL connected computer in Rosarito is still the same. And I in time purgatory again?

It's complicated I guess since a few municipalities along the border go by US standards, changing the clocks now, while most of Mexico goes by the first week of april standard. I would guess Rosarito is part of the Tijuana municipality and would follow the conventions that the US uses.

It could get crazy living in a state that has two different time zones. Indiana is one state that comes to mind.:

I grew up on the EST/CST time line. . . we lived in one time zone (CST) and went to school in the other (EST). Two post offices five miles apart on two different time zones, television on EST, radio on CST, inter-school sports events on the home school's time.
