isDaylightSavingTime returns NO although my time zone does observe DST

Solution
`isDaylightSavingTime` is date-based; the answer depends on the current date. Today is January 6, and on January 6 in your time zone, daylight saving time is not in use. Thus, the result you are seeing is correct.
Problem
Checking `-[NSTimeZone isDaylightSavingTime]` is giving me `NO`, and I don't know why. On my system I have the correct time displayed, and my time zone is Eastern US -- New York, which observes DST. ``` NSTimeZone *sZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]; BOOL isDST = [sZone isDaylightSavingTime]; if (isDST) NSLog(@"\n Daylight saving"); else NSLog(@"\n Not in Daylight saving"); // This prints ``` Can anyone please explain why this would be happening, and a possible remedy?
