Spring Equinox!

Tomorrow (11:33 am EDT) is the first day of spring. Happy Spring Equinox to all my friends on the board. I love this time of the year...reflection and new beginnings!

What Is the Spring Equinox?

In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox (aka spring equinox or vernal equinox) occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line, heading north. This event marks the start of the spring season in the northern half of the globe. After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures. (In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite: the March equinox marks the start of autumn, as the Southern Hemisphere begins to be tilted away from the Sun.)

We've had spring here for a while now. Spring just means it's another day closer to months and months of 100 degree plus temps day after day.
