Since the DST changes at different dates in europe and US, how do I easiest determine, based on a date submitted, what the current difference was?

If you need to know the offset for a timezone at a given date, I would suggest using the [Date/Time](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/logic/date-time/) node. You can pass in the given date, select the timezone, and then use the `format` operation with the [format string](https://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/using-timezones/formatting/) `ZZ` (which will return you just the TZ offset).
