Yeah... what's more... I can't find official information, either from
the federal government or from the Provinces about when DST would start...

My guess is that San Luis (which is currently the only Province using
UTC-4 as its main -winter- timezone) would start observing DST (in
UTC-3) on the second Sunday of October (as I think Chile does), whereas
the National Goverment is trying that the rest of the country would
change (from UTC-3 to UTC-2) on the THIRD Sunday of October...

I'm really, really, REALLY fed up with this nonsense :-(
