[1] "2004-10-31 03:00:00" How do I tell as.POSIXlt() to ignore daylight savings and just convert to a time as is? I've read about the 'isdst' but it is still unclear what to do.
There *was* no 02:00:00 in your local timezone, so you?re trying to specifiy a point in time that just didn?t exist. If you really want to do this, use the UTC timezone, by setting the ?tz? argument in as.POSIXct/as.POSIXlt to UTC (or GMT).
