yes you're missing somethings, from the cf8 docs:
Returns
Structure that contains these elements and keys:
* utcTotalOffset: offset of local time, in seconds, from UTC
o A plus sign indicates a time zone west of UTC (such as a zone in
North America)
o A minus sign indicates a time zone east of UTC (such as a zone in
Germany)
* utcHourOffset: offset, in hours of local time, from UTC
* utcMinuteOffset: offset, in minutes, beyond the hours offset. For North
America, this is 0. For countries that are not exactly on the hour offset, the
number is between 0 and 60. For example, standard time in Adelaide, Australia
is
offset 9 hours and 30 minutes from UTC.
* isDSTOn: True, if Daylight Savings Time (DST) is on in the host; False,
otherwise
this is the *server* timezone, so if your server's in a tz west of UTC it will
always be positive.
