Yay timezones. A little lesson on timezones. Portland is in either PST or PDT. S doesn't stand for summer is stands for Standard, aka when daylight savings is not in effect. The D in PDT stands for Daylight, aka when daylight savings is in effect, ergo wat most Europeans would consider Summer which is nice and confusing with the S.
In Europe, CET is equivalent to PST and CEST to PDT. Since the US switches over to daylight saving two-three weeks before Europe (freaking colonies) the offset right now is 8 hours, from PDT which is UTC-7 to CET which is UTC+1. For this week it means that 10AM PDT = 17:00:00 UTC = 18:00:00 CET. For the upcoming triage on the 20th of March and the 27th of March this is the offset. Europe switches over into D-time or Summer-time on the 30th of March so from then on out we'll be in UTC+2 instead of +1 (I'm assuming Central Europe timezone here). For the triages from the 3rd of April onwards the offset is thus 9 hours, making it 19:00:00 in CEST when it's 10:00:00 in PDT. To make matters worse Europe switches back to non-daylight savings before the US (again with the damn colonies). DST ends in Europe on the 26th of October but in the US on the 2nd of November. This in turn means that for the triage on the 30th of October 10:00:00 PDT translates to 17:00:00 UTC but since we've already switched away from DST now is 18:00:00 CET, not CEST. The week after that, so the 6th of November everyone is back on one line when it comes to DST. We're back to a 9 hours offset so 10:00:00 PST is now again 19:00:00 CET.
