Question about term: $now

[RonR-WebDesign]

In debug it shows $now is set to GMT. Is it possible to do $now minus 8 hours for Calif time?

Ok, I found the original code for "now" and I've added this to my functions.php:

add_filter( "eleconditions_vars",function($custom_vars){
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$custom_vars['nowPST']=date('Y-m-d');
return $custom_vars;
});
