Hey, I'm in Nova Scotia too, in the bustling town of Oxford.  I find the data 
goes to 8:00 in the winter and 9:00 in the summer.  The difference is 
something to do with Daylight Savings Time I think. 

I'm still using 0.18.1, since I haven't bothered to roll my own for three 
machines. When 0.19 comes out I'll just set it to collect one less day of 
data and it should be happy.
