Snowy stores all dates in UTC format.  When notes come in from Tomboy,
the timezone information provided in the timestamp is used to convert
to UTC.

Our server, also, is set to UTC.

The /notes/list view is not doing any timezone conversion, so your
notes should be shown in UTC.

If you tell me the id of the note in question, and don't mind me
looking at it on the server, I can try to figure out what's up.
