Happy first day of Spring. This year apparently the equinox is earlier than usual. This from the internet...
The vernal equinox has arrived, giving us equal day and night. There's something special about this one, too — it's the earliest we've seen in North America in over a century!
At exactly 11:06 p.m. EDT on March 19, 2024, the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north. This will signify the start of spring for the northern hemisphere!
The day itself is similar to every other vernal equinox, with nearly equal day and night for the planet. However, it's also remarkable, as it is the earliest vernal equinox in 128 years.
Thanks for coming by, GM
Well, by the time Spring officially arrives, the sun will be gone, but it sure is a beautiful almost first day of spirng so far.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY SPRING!
I did not know it was the earliest in over a century! Anything that brings more light to my days is fine by me.

And it's snowing here!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty tulips, and information too!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely tulips.

Happy Spring :)
All the best Jan
Happy Spring. Maybe the weather can catch up to the date. :)
ReplyDeleteVERY interesting! Thank you! May new joy and many blessings go with us into this special time of the year. Easter also is early this year. Xaver's Mother always said: "Early Easter, early summer!"
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for the arrival of spring! I am ready for warm weather and flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be spring, but I needed my winter coat and gloves in New York City today. So looking forward to spring weather and spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteWe had the most beautiful day here. It was 66F and Piper was on spring break so we took a trick to the zoo after visiting Grammy. We had a wonderful time. Baby J and her Dad facetimed us while we were at the zoo and Baby J was thrilled to see Piper with us. They sure love each other and it makes our hearts happy since we're all so far apart.
ReplyDeleteIn a few days it's supposed to snow! That's spring for you. :-)
I hope your Wednesday is wonderful.
Blessings,
Betsy
Wow....great info. I thought it was odd that Spring would arrive on the 19th! Thanks Granny.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Spring! I've really enjoyed these few days of almost-summer weather, but I know things will cool down tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
ReplyDeleteHappy spring! It is so much to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind in my blog reading. I hope that your first day of spring was lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring! I think it is so interesting that this is the earliest spring in 128 years - it definitely feels like spring is early this year too! Thanks for sharing the great information, many blessings!
