What 7 PM Eastern means
5 PM is the end of the workday in Denver, Salt Lake City and Albuquerque. On the East Coast it is 7 PM and most offices closed two hours ago. A quick call to friends or family works well now. A business call usually does not. If you need a reply from a New York office today send your message before 3 PM Mountain. To find a slot that suits both teams use the Mountain and Eastern meeting planner.
Arizona
Arizona stays on MST all year. From November to March 5 PM in Phoenix is 7 PM in New York. From March to November it is 8 PM because New York moves to EDT and Phoenix does not. See why Phoenix is 3 hours behind in summer.
Daylight saving time
Denver and New York change their clocks on the same days: the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. So 5 PM Mountain is 7 PM Eastern all year. Read the daylight saving dates for MDT and EDT.
