my weewx 4.9.1 + VP2 also stopped logging yesterday at 2am as well - it was ok at the previous two DST changes (I'm in the UK).
The sudo service weewx stop sudo /home/weewx/bin/wee_device --dump sudo /home/weewx/bin/wee_device --clear sudo service weewx start trick got things going again for me too (thanks!), albeit at the expense of losing the intervening several hours of data. I've read TF's suggestion to use software record generation, but I'm wondering - if the problem only happens if/when weewx tries to adjust the VP2 console clock during the hour change, would it make sense *never* to try doing that between 1am and 2am? Or not to do that if the change would be much bigger than 5 seconds (or whatever the chosen tolerance is)? I'm guessing that the problem is partly that weewx and the console are applying the DST change at slightly different times and, honestly, if one's made the change and the other hasn't, the fact that the difference is not slightly more than 5 seconds should be an obvious warning sign: be patient, and only tweak the clock when the difference is back to a few seconds. What I'm saying boils down to: the logger might not make the DST status explicit, but regular comparison with another clock, as weewx is doing, should make it pretty obvious.
