Check Your PC Clock

Did anyone else have their PC clock jump ahead an hour last night or this morning?

 

My PC did an auto sync of the time in the middle of the night and jumped ahead one hour. I did a manual re-sync this morning (not a manual reset) and it came up with the correct time again.

 

On social media I've seen one other person comment about the same thing happening to them last night. I'm wondering if the phenomena is more widespread. I doubt it's a Windows software issue because it would be more widespread. PC's get time from NIST Internet Time Service and I wonder if they had a brief hiccup that impacted PC's synchronizing at that specific moment.

 

Anyway, it was weird. I also thought I was late for work this morning.

Gotta be sporadic - my clocks are all fine...PC, Netbook, Tablet, Phone - they all 'auto-update' for DST and none of them jumped.
