Get today's date in User's timezone - Workflow script

In workflow script, I am using gs.now() to get today's date in wait for condition. If it is today's date then only tasks need to be created.
In the system timezone property, US / Eastern time is configured. I know gs.now() gets the current date using GMT.
Is there anyway to get the current date using specified time zone?

Not sure if this is the best way, but it seems to work.



var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gdt.addSeconds(gdt.getTZOffset() / 1000);
var dateInMyTZ = gdt.getDate();

If you want to find out the start of today, local time, in order to compare other times against it (e.g. for a query) you can use:



var today = gs.beginningOfToday();


the time string it gives is in GMT, but it represents your midnight. As an example, if your TZ was 'US/Pacific' then gs.beginningOfToday() would return "2011-11-21 08:00:00", if your TZ was 'Australia/South' it would return "2011-11-20 13:30:00"
