Good morning! Apologies if this is answered in the docs, I can't seem to find it. Prefect always seems to run in UTC, and so the

CronClock

needs to be set in UTC. Not a big deal, but is it possible to override the timezone? 🕐

Hi Matt! Every Clock accepts a

start_date

keyword argument at initialization; if you pass a timezone-aware datetime / pendulum object, Prefect will respect that timezone for the clock / schedule. E.g.,

from prefect.schedules.clocks import CronClock  
import pendulum

clock = CronClock("0 1 0 0 1/5", start_date=pendulum.now("US/Eastern"))
next(clock.events()) 
DateTime(2020, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, tzinfo=Timezone('US/Eastern'))

Brilliant, thank you, Chris!
