Re: what is the 'leap hour' called?

Well, first, the time change occurs at 2:00 AM , not 1:00 AM. In the spring the clock is moved forward, so there is no extra hour to deal with, the times between 2:00 AM and 3:01 AM just don't exist. The problems come in the fall when, as you point out, there are two of every minute between 2:00 and 3:01. What I have seen done is to refer to 2:13 AM PDT for the first and 2:13 AM PST for the second, whit PDT = Pacific Daylight Time and PST = Pacific Standard Time. You would substitute MDT, CDT, or EDT as you move toward the Atlantic.
