I have to ask: does your server switch to storing PDT during daylight savings? Either way, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.

So all of our dates should be stored in UTC... but everytime we have to deal with an unmarked column we have to check if it's in PST because a developer forgot. If a developer did forget, they'd probably grab the PDT value during DST.
