title: Setting timezone in NodeJS localhost to reflect production environment
body: <p>I am attempting to work with dates in my project. I keep getting weird little changes based on the dates being 5 hours off (I live in EST, -5).</p>
  
  <p>The production environment defaults to UTC and I would love to be able to do that as well in my localhost environment. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way that I may use <code>express</code> or some <code>npm</code> package to start the server off in UTC? Is this a machine issue? </p>
  
  <p>I do not want to have different code than the production environment. </p>
