node.js - Mongoose converting stored UTC dates to local time? -

i'm wondering if normal, or if i'm missing in schema setup or query process:

my app, , mongoose, correctly storing date utc in mongodb. confirmed viewing documents via mongo shell. when retrieve documents mongodb via mongoose date local time.

mongo shell: http://cl.ly/image/2m3p212o0i2x

console.log output of query results: http://cl.ly/image/3w2q3b1r0f3q

is there way have mongoose keep date utc when queried?

mongoose , node.js aren't doing dates, it's javascript date type produces local time string when call tostring() on though contains time in utc.

explicitly call toutcstring() on date object if want utc time string.
