Re: First Day of Spring - March 20

We’re in the throes of bad weather too, with snow expected overnight and into tomorrow.   However, Spring is my favorite time of year and I’m happy to see it arrive even in the midst of a storm.

I would be enjoying spring if I weren't expecting 5-10 inches of snow tomorrow!

Spring is lovely but it just means we are that much closer to 3 months of over 100 degrees and relentless heat until October. It’s supposed to hit 90 later this week. Ah Spring aka pre summer.

Sleet and freezing rain with 5-10inches of snow to follow. GO SPRING! Lol.

Re: First Day of Spring - March 20

Ahhh...first day of spring! There is still snow on the ground here in Northern Wisconsin, but it is melting. I just went out to feed the squirrels and birds, and I saw my first chipmunk!! He ran right up to me to get some peanuts. Guess they have a memory like an elephant.

Now saying it MAY be rain, so I’m hoping tomorrow’s foot of snow will be WASHED AWAY, @Lilysmom!

Re: First Day of Spring - March 20

for anyone interested......persians or friends/family of persians.....it is also the start of the persian new year. their new year celebrations last for 13 days and begun right at the time spring arrived officially.

 

we came to the beach to celebrate, but it is pouring rain here right now. we are expecting some snow overnight i believe.

 

happy new year 1397 to those who observe this custom or enjoy knowing more about other cultures!
