[wxqc] UTC and weather stations

I'm contemplating changing all of my computer timekeeping to UTC (Z) 
time.  Looking at all the things I'm doing, which most are weather 
related, I find myself asking the question, how much trouble is there 
trying to convert climate data which is being generated on E.T, when all 
other things I do, all are based on UTC.  Has or is there anyone who has 
their machines set to zulu time, and are there any drawbacks to doing 
this?  I naturally think in 24 hour time format, so it's not a big deal 
for me to convert from one to the other.  I'm just curious if there 
might be something I've overlooked that would be a "gottcha"

Any issues with the CWOP data being sent if I set up to UTC?
