There's currently no clean way to have cron jobs run in a timezone other than UTC.
I see the necessity for storing all timestamps converted to UTC, but since there maybe cron tasks which should run in the time zone of the server, there should be a way to cleanly handle it.

Our case: We use a extension to cancel incomplete paypal orders after 45 minutes. This extension is called via magento cron and since we (and the server) are +2:00 of GMT, the orders are only cancelled after 2 hours and 45 minutes.
