Yes they are, for 1/2 of the year. They do not change their time like most of the states do for daylight savings.

Yes, they are one hour ahead - now. They did not "fall back" last week.

The Virgin Islands are in the time zone called ---- Atlantic Standard Time -----this is the same time zone as much of Nova Scotia- we do not observe daylight savings - so we never have to change our clocks.

Actually all of NS, NB, & PEI are on Atlantic Standard time. Newfoundland, is another 1/2 hour ahead. Why? Just becasuse it's Newfoundland!!

Those darn newfies! God love 'em!

I hate the time change because it puts the Virgin Islands FOUR HOURS ahead of me! 3 hours is bad enough, but 4 is terrible!

I don't like it either - all my favorite TV shows now start at 9pm and 10pm - bedtime for this island girl - thank goodness for DVR

Not unless WAPA blinks...then you have to change all the clocks

Most of the VI residents make sure the electric clocks in the house are equipped with a battery backup - especially - the alarm clock - and those pesky LED clocks that blink - 12:00 - well , they are taped over and not reset ever again.
Thanks for the Canadian info on Nova Scotia ? Do they observe Daylight Savings??
