I just started using the Carbon extension (seems pretty sweet so far), but am confused on the `Carbon::now()` function. According to the docs, it seems as though this function should reflect the current time in the users current timezone, however, I seem to get a time that is an hour ahead of GMT. 

i.e. `Carbon::now()` says `2015-01-01 17:26:46` when I am on PST and it is actually currently `2015-01-01 08:26:46`. 

Do I have to detect and put in a users local timezone for all instances?

What gives? (I very well may have a fundamental misunderstanding of how a website gets a users local time)
