Did some light searching and some googling and didn't turn up anything of use.
Anyone have any idea or any info that could set me on the right track?
I haven't heard of this happening, so this is just wild guessing...
First, have you gone to blockchain.io to see if you have the most recent block and your client believes it's 3 hours behind for some different reason?
If that's the case, check to see if your computer is set to use GMT internally, or if the system clock is set to your local timezone. Or, for that matter, whether your system clock is set just plain wrong.
