Yes. In the same zone as you. Absolutely livid we had a 8pm-midnight yesterday and 2am-6am slot this morning and then to top of off, they can't maintain stage 4 between 4pm-8pm anymore so now another 4h slot from 6pm.You know you have f***ed up badly, when there is a Wikipedia article describing every detail...
Our zone 11 in CT varies a lot (and we rarely use the extra 30 mins), but is currently scheduled for a straight 11h30 on Sat 3rd, assuming stage 6 is maintained:
02:00 to 06:30 (4h30)
12:00 to 14h30
16:00 to 22:30 (4h30)
P.S. And the forecast is for cold, wet and windy...
It would've been a 2am to 5am slot as it switches to stage 4 at 5Yes. In the same zone as you. Absolutely livid we had a 8pm-midnight yesterday and 2am-6am slot this morning and then to top of off, they can't maintain stage 4 between 4pm-8pm anymore so now another 4h slot from 6pm.
Nah. Under stage 3/4, it's a 4-6am slot but stage 6 adds the previous slot before that.It would've been a 2am to 5am slot as it switches to stage 4 at 5
