Yes, but it's vastly less ambiguous: ambiguity for one day between 1:00AM - 3:00AM out of the year vs ambiguity for all future dates and times.
Now you can prompt the user for their intent when the time change is known or expected. The ambiguity is now narrowed down to only the situations where the time change could not have been known in advance.
