I was judging the time-offset by the output of "ntpq -p". However, if you are dual-booting between FreeBSD and Windows, you will also need to consider whether to keep the CMOS/BIOS clock running in UTC or in your local timezone; see "man adjkerntz" for details. It's entirely possible that doing a "touch /etc/wall_cmos_clock" will solve your issue.
