I had come across a few sites that said Chile follows the same Daylight Savings Time change schedule as the US (with opposite seasons), but when I arrived I learned that the practice had changed a few years ago. (Timeanddate.com is accurate, now at least). Some of the current devices Alicia and I brought with us adjusted automatically to local time, but others that were a bit older (my fitbit, her iPod) were operating on the outdated information as well, and have been an hour off since March 8th (when the US and Canada changed the clocks).
It turns out that today, 26 de abril, at midnight, is when we set the clocks back an hour for the upcoming winter season. (Thank you, CNN Chile, for leading your news hour with a story about disrupting sleep patterns with changing of the clocks this morning!) What doesn't change is that throughout the calendar year, the time difference between Chile and Minnesota is either one, two, or three hours off.
