| So isn't Phoenix just in Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year round?
It is ... but I think that the point of the OP's message was that they
think of themselves as being in Mountain Time in winter, and in Pacific Time
in summer (which means that when they see adverts for something happening
at a particular time in different zones, they look at the Mountain Time
version in winter, and the Pacific Time version in Summer).
That's what was meant by:
| Because of this, every spring and fall, Arizonaâs effective time alignment
| shifts
I suspect that the home was that inventing a new zone just for them would
somehow solve this problem, which I doubt it would, as I doubt that Arizona
has enough population for anyone to publish what their time would be (in
fact, from what I recall of the way most of this happens, the entire Mountain
timezone doesn't ... most ads I have seen seem to give at most Pacific,
Central, and Eastern, versions of the time things are to happen, and ignore
Hawaii, Alaska, and Mountain, and everywhere else not using the same time
as one of LA, Chicago, or New York).
