Server time is off
Before the switch back to standard time, it was reading perfect, but now for some reason it's two hours fast. I would expect it to be one hour off but not two. Do I need to adjust my own time in my preferences to get it back in line again or will it fix itself in a day or two? The time here is 5:57 am but it stamps it as 7:57am

The time is correct on the server side and the software. The time is showing correct for me without any changes.
Make sure your computer time is correct, especially the date/time and DST settings, and also check your UserCP to make sure DST is enabled.
The issue with it being, temporarily, 2 hours off in the early morning of DST change is normal due to the server's location and the DST occurring at different times. The issue is automatically corrected within a few hours. That issue happens every year and only those who are on CF during that short window will see that.
It could also be security software on your computer as the DST detection is based on javscript.
