Be careful if you're going to set the clock to get around the problem.
1)  Setting the clock forward an hour will not change the fact that
    the system will still view the time as Standard Time.
2)  You'll have to wait until 4AM to move the clock back on the 26th.
    Remember, the hour between 2 and 3 AM doesn't exist on the day
    you're moving the clock back.  (A minute before 3 AM is 1:59 AM,
    not 2:59 AM.)  The software is smarter than you think here.
    I tried to set the clock back an hour after setting it
    forward to 3:15 on April 26.  As makes perfect sense, the time
    changed to 1:15.
