So today is when spring officially arrives. The sun crosses the equator from south to north.
So today the sun rises at my place at 7:38 AM and sets at 7:47 Pm giving me 12 hrs and 9 min of sun. So much for the equal day and night on the first day of spring.
Well, I won't crab about the details. It's time to enjoy spring.
So today it was clear with a high of minus 8 C (14 F).
One thing when spring comes here it's rapid. Since we have so much sunlight at this time snow will disappear quickly.

Yes, spring! And things will begin to see easier to bear as the beautiful plants spring out of the ground. I'm feeling much better today, after having had a chance to walk around in the green beauty of our area with friends. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt won't take much to happen to forget all about winter.
DeleteSpring comes... eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhen spring comes here it's very rapid.
DeleteI am always happy to see Spring. Now we just need some Spring weather!
ReplyDeleteYes, two different things. sometimes we get an early spring...mid march. Other times it can be late...mid April.
DeleteHello and happy Spring. I do love the longer daylight! Bye-bye snow! Take care and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf we get the right weather the snow disappears in a couple of days.
DeleteWe've got rain!!!
ReplyDeleteThat should freshen things up.
DeleteI had never thought about actually equal day and night. I suppose that it really only applies to the instant that the sun crosses.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a little more complicated than we suspect!
DeleteLove the spring equinox and the equal light of day and dark of night. Soon the snow will be gone.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take long for our snow to disappear when it warms up.
DeleteSpring is creeping toward you. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a little impatient.
DeleteSpring! Finally! Twelve hours and nine minutes of daylight is pretty darn close to equal day and night. :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find the number when I looked.
DeleteHappy Spring Red! :)
ReplyDeleteOnce spring arrives we have great weather and plants develop rapidly.
DeleteWow, that minus 8 C (14 F) does sound a little bit chilly. Come on Spring!!
ReplyDeleteIt's chilly but no record.
Delete...I was never crabs about longer daylight!
ReplyDeleteI love the long days. Arctic days with 24 hour sunlight were awesome.
DeleteThose crocus and daffs will be popping up before you know it :)
ReplyDeleteThey come rapidly.
DeleteI thought of you, of course, as I posted about the first day of spring.
ReplyDeleteWEll, I liked your post on all your spring flowers. Things develop rapidly once they start.
DeleteHappy spring!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading your blog in the spring in other years and marvelling at how much faster everything develops there. Our spring is more gradual here.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you and Madame MM should sell up and move closer to the equator - when The Virus has left us. There are many cheap properties in Ecuador. You could raise chickens and lounge in the sun.
ReplyDeleteSpring has come early to my little town in Pennsylvania. We got daffodils, forsythia and lots of other blooming things. May you get to see a flower very soon!
ReplyDelete14 degrees sounds awfully cold. Hope your snow melts fast and you get a nice warm spring real soon...and some flowers!
