I have seen an issue when weewx calls set_time within the hour after falling 
back to standard time (because there is no way in the command to state the time 
is in DST and the console assumes standard time).  I got around this issue by 
forking the driver and adding code such that set_time does nothing when 
set_time is called during these transitions.  As such, I don’t see any issues 
during the clock changes.

The issue being reported here sounds different.  Are you guys saying you 
*always* have this problem going in and out of DST?  Do you have the correct 
DST setting in the console?  Even when I encountered the issue above, I didn’t 
have to clear memory in my logger.  Tom, do you see this issue?  Do you have to 
clear memory in your logger every six months?
