If you were to run that every second crossing over the daylight savings moment, you'd see that it correctly adjusts for daylight savings, but it's only going to give you the *current* offset from GMT. Something more elaborate will require tapping into the tzinfo database (which TimeZones.jl will do). -Jacob
