Don't know about anywhere else, but here in the UK the clocks went forward an hour early Sunday morning.
It throws me every time! Only an hour's change, but my body clock has gone bananas, and I feel as if I'm suffering from major jet lag!
Does anyone else get affected like this, or am I just totally feeble?
Of course it could be as well that I've been heavily love-bombed in the last 24 hours, in the JW special unique heavy-pressure, memorial's-coming-up kind of way.
I knew something wasn't right when about two weeks ago on the news I was watching a live report from London and the time difference between London and New York was just 4 hours !
It always is worse in the Spring when we "lose" an hour, in the Autumn (Fall) when we gain an hour it is not so bad, body still feels weird then for a while, mind you, my body is weird all the time !
The time difference between London and New York is always at least ten years, London 10 years behind Noo York of course !
I hate DST, just when my circadian rhythm gets readjusted it’s time to change the clocks again.

Reading your post suggests a change was made to the international dateline based on factors that I'm not so sure could be reconciled in my mind, but while I'm sure you knew the local time in New York, perhaps you were comparing what you thought to be the local time in London.

I think you meant to write "at least ten hours" and not "at least ten years," but with reference to the words "at least," I have to tell you, @Phizzy, that the time difference between Los Angeles -8 UTC and London +0 UTC, which means the time difference between New York and London would have been only five hours behind London Standard Time for the two weeks prior to March 25, 2012 (when the US moved its clocks forward an hour on March 11, 2012), during which the time difference between New York and London would have been four hours behind London Standard Time. After March 25, 2012, however, the time difference between Los Angeles -7 UTC and London +1 UTC, would again be five hours behind London Daylight Savings Time as is usually the case between New York and London.
@djeggnog
I think Phizzy really did mean 10 years, eggnog, and I know just what she meant!
LOL, Phizzy!
