According to the Naval Observatory, the vernal equinox arrived at 1:26 p.m. U. S. Eastern time (12:26 p.m. MuseBlog time) today. The change of seasons may seem meaningless to you Californians and laughable to you Midwesterners, but officially, at least, it has happened.

The Chairman, as a full-blooded Ohioan, lives here in the Eastern Time Zone. Where’s everyone else? I should probably try to go balance an egg on its tip.
First post?!
ZOMG! No way! O_O
Anyway…Happy Spring everyone. ^_^ Not that we’ve noticed it up here in Unspecified Location.
Curses! Not first post! -dies-
Yay! I like spring! It’s spring break here right now, but it’s still snowing in some places! At least we aren’t in school!
yay! allergy season!
1:26? really?
that explains why the temperature suddenlly rose 30 degrees
Because I’m NEVER going to get the first post, I might as well say 8TH POST!!!! (or whatever post # this is)
HAPPY SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is supposed to snow tomorrow (where I live, anyway)
Oh, well, it’s the thought that counts.
I LOVE SPRING!!!
In honor of the occation, my dad & I planted 2 peach trees, 1 pear tree, and 1 dogwood tree, so in a few years we will have peaches and pears (if the trees don’t freeze)
WAIT…………………
What time zone is Muse blog???
I’m on EST.
The blog is in Central time because we seem to have a lot of people living in Illinois. This includes me. Today it dipped below freezing. Luverly spring weather, ain’t it?
Ahh, don’t remind me of allergies… That’s the one reason I like winter.
MBs on central. After reading post 1, i tried the egg thing. But it didnt work so me and VF just sat on the floor and rolled the egg back and forth to each other. Hasn’t broken yet.
Uh duh I live in The East and if you look at the muse time compaired to your computer’s time it is different!!!!!!!
Earth is weird. Very. Very. Weird. And now that everyone has been informed of this, we’re moving on.
How worried about Solar Max are you? With any luck, I won’t be on the planet when the flares start to go, so there you have it. However, I’m not quite sure there’s much Earthlings can actually constructively DO about it, other than take their hats off (ha, ha).
where i live it’s 17:08 (5:08pm!)
Did you know that, besides being the first day of spring today is also:
National Agriculture Day,
Act Happy Day,
Proposal Day,
Festival of Extraterrestrial Abduction Day,
and Well Elderly Day?
And that March is the
International Mirth Month,
Mental-Retardation Awareness Month,
National Frozen Food Month,
National On-Hold Month,
National Talk to Your Teen About Sex Month,
and Optimism Month?
Me neither! Is the word Month starting to sound strange to you?
hey, its spring.
would u look @ that?
yay for spring
three cheers for spring
w00t
it doesnt even look like spring
:/
13- not at all. By my guess WAYYYYYY before that hppens we’ll have blown up the earth with nukes,overpopulated and overpolluted it exterminating the human race, and/or flooded it from global warming. (if wekeep on polluting the air like we are noe north america will be under water in a century!)
i am honoring act happyday. (to be said with dripping sarcasm)
that was supposed to be an unenthusiastic smiley.
*tries again*
It feels like spring down here in Louisiana. Probably our winter is y’all’s spring.
Solar Max is happening in 3 years. I hope not. And I hope my teacher doesn’t find out about “National Talk To Your Teen About Sex Month” because I am paired with a member of the opposite sex and we were supposed to create a presentation about gonorrhea. Yeah. Monty, I am so envious. My fingers are freezing right now, and it’s spring in IL. Yeah. This continent sucks. In fact, the planet’s just a moldy asteroid!
Daffodils.
I like daffodils.
But I’m still waiting.
If the Powers That Be would stop sending us weather from Siberia and give us some proper Atlantic stuff (we’re usually quite happy with your left-overs), maybe the daffs would make an appearance. The heroic frogs in my specially smelly pond are braving the icy wind and snow flurries, popping up the moment there’s a couple of extra degrees on the dial, doing unmentionable things with other frogs, croaking in vulgar celebration, and producing spawn at an astounding rate. I hope the little proto-taddies don’t mind being intermittently frozen solid.
Still, I’ve nearly finished a medieval dulcimer destined for Japan, and I finally found a photo of some Victorian navvies puddling, so life goes on.
Spring? Spring started a few weeks ago here, but then winter came back with a vengeance, but is expected to leave by the end of the week. The weather here from november to april doesnt make much sense.
Everyne I know is going down to Mexico for spring break, but I am going to the Grand Canyon. Hopefully. Yippee! Last time I went to the GC it was february and we had to hike down on a blizzard. My nose nearly froze off.
I love daffodils!
Snow? SNOW?
Try skiing on a volcano in a total white out–white trees, snow, fog, air, amoebas, pink…err…white bunnies and gettting eyelashcicles and getting stuck….
sigh.
Sping? Today was supposed to be Sping. But I think whoever figures out when the seasons start and end got rather confused. You see, we had Fall until Febuary, and it’s still Winter.
I can’t wait for the April snow to start falling in Michigan!
24- you’re right. we had SNOW on the first day of spring!!!
IT IS SNOWING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!
ok, happy second day of spring….
it is snowing…..
I woke up
it was 27 degrees out (F)
I went to school
I had absolutly no fun
I came home
I ate dinner
it was snowing
I went to bed.
So much for a wonderful first day of spring…
Sorry if I’m depressing people, I’m feeling depressed now…
I might go to the grand canyon, but maybe not, because the rough draft of my term paper is due right after spring break. It rained a lot yesterday (not very springy) but considering 27 degrees it was pretty hot. I don’t know, pretty much the same as winter was( mostly).
Sping! Sping! Sping is here, life is skittles and life is BEER, I think the loveliest time of the year is the SPING!
‘R’s be deuced!
solar max doesnt kill anyone
spring is here! oh beautiful spring!
gets hit in head w/ snowball*
California and inhabitants chuckle jovially at the so called “seasonal weather” you of eastern persuasion have.
So basically, I’m saying that California owns you all, while at the same time being really annoying.
Spring is super nice here though.
30: What about the R’s in BEER? In year and here?
I love the Spring in Arizona, though it only lasts about two weeks. I like the types of cacti that bloom in Spring. And I like taking the fruit from the barrel cacti. They are usually super sour but my friend and I dip them in sugar and and drink iced tea with them every year for our spring celebration.
Snow? Its hard to imagine being in a place with snow… Im a little jealous.. but then maybe not. Once it snowed on my birthday (Jan. 30 1992, GAPAs
Most of it melted once it hit the ground, but some a lot got caught on the cacti and it looked really cool.
Go to Payson. My grandparents live there, and I just went X-country skiing. On the rim, if you know where taht is, not acctually in payson. And yes, I agree. I’m jealous. But I bet people in Maine, or someplace like that, are jealous of Arizona’s winters. I mean, it’s the one time we can go outside without sweating, while they are inside frozen.
not jealous, exactly. But it’d be nice not to freeze on the way to the bus stop. But snow is fun!
It is REALLY snowing now………we have several inches
I love snow, but it would be nice for a change of season soon….!
I love the spring! Spring, spring, sproing! *bounces off to a different thread*
I love the spring! Yaaaaaay for spring!
Solar Max is 2011. It could destroy half the ozone layer, and 2011 will probably have no nights. Anywhere. Won’t that be hoopy? Hastromil was so much cooler. So. Much. Cooler.
I have no idea what you’re talking about……..sorry, but It doesn’t make any sense (to me)
Congrats “founder”
really?
1/2 the ozone layer?!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
helllpppp!!!!
*goes and lives in a hole in the ground*
I can not write on this blog, because,
1:am hiding in an unknown place, which I will not disclose in case any sun agents are out there, who will tell the sun, who will fry me.
2:I fainted from fright
3:don’t want to learn any more scary facts that could cause a heart attack!
Does same as Darth Yoda, except hides in ************’s basement. I couldn’t find any holes the size of a human being, though yoda IS pretty small. And furry. HA.
Never fear, Violetfire’s here! She will make it all better! She has wonderful powers of happiness and -gotta go.
happy spring. last night it snowed about a centimeter. yay.
April (May June July August September October November December January February March) showers around here bring… oh, never mind.
A centimeter? HA. we got a centimeter and ¾!!! Ok, maybe not, I didn;t measure it. I just wanted to try out the fraction.
seasons? what seasons?
HA!!! We got 3 inches of snow!!!!!!!!!
We got snow too but it went away really fast.
I think I like spring best.
I’d hope so!
hello does this make it italicized?
OOOHHH, it does!!!!! it’s bla bla , in case you didn’t know. Probably words with bold and crossed out, too.
Of coars, no spaces.
Sorry, the spaces didn’t matter italicized =(i)blabla(/i)
spring? is it really spring? it sure doesn’t feel like it
I’m acctually hoping for winter. First: We need water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second, It gets too hot in the summer, so the longer winter is, the less summer we’ll have, I hope. Arizona heat SUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
What about the Arizona cold? How cold is it down there?
Speaking of Arizona, have you ever been to Coconino County? I went when we visited the Grand Canyon. Although it really should be spelled Kokonino County, of course.
I live in SW Pennsylvania. I think it has “normal” weather ; well, obviously I think its normal, because I have lived here for 9 years but it is COLD in the winter and HOT in the summer (I go to northern MI for the summer, but my dad says it gets really hot
Our winter lows are, in pheonix metro area: about 40 degrees. In other areas, usually about 10 degrees at the LOWEST, though sometimes, and in some special places, it’s lower. not much, though. And yes, I’ve been to kokonino county. COCONINO, hmmmm, never heard of it.
I think it’s spelled with a C, but the second C might be a K. Cokonino?
I was just joking.
It’s really coconino. But I’m gonna try to get it changed.
it’s really weird. when i was little i never thought of where i lived as cold. ever. i hav no memories of being cold. but in the last two years i’ve been cold every day at break and lunch when it’s winter. no, that had no point. in case you were wondering, which you probably weren’t. okay, i’lll shut up now.
I was walking back to my school from the park nearby where I had spent my break, and I was wearing a buisness suit because I had just gotten back from lunch with a Saudi Prince (No, it’s totally true…long story) and this guy who always hangs out in front of the Karate dojo next to the park started walking next to me : “Hey preppie girl! What’s your name? can we talk? ” and I was all like, get away. I should have told him why I was wearing a buisness suit. It would have totally shut him up. As it was I just ignored him. God, those people annoy me.
Although I guess It was pretty odd to see a seventh grader in buisness suit.
Did you have high heels on? Sorrry, just had to ask.
And who would say that. What a retard(67). Do you even know him?
Clogs. And no.
I kind of outwalked him, though. I have a pretty long stride.
How did you have lunch with a Saudi Prince?
it was warmer in febuary than it is now!! all because of the ground hog!! UGGHH!!!
Zeeka, your in spring break already??? LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m DONE with spring break! 15 hours of freedom left!!! *sob*
um… my spring break starts april 7th.
Our spring break was at the beginning of March ( someone needs to get a grip on their SEASONS!)
No srping flowers yet, however, there was lots of rain. And love…. yes, very strange love. Hey, Strangelove! *thinks of old war parody*
The groundhog was right! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! *Gives banana cream pie to everybody*
Now just wait one minute. What about the people down under? It’s not spring to them. It is, in fact, the begining of fall. So shouldn’t you say, ” Hey it’s spring here in the northern hemisphere but not for the unfortunate people down under who are starting fall and school, I’m glad we’re not” ? How about that?
Sorry. I’m just a bit jealous of all you peoples who are getting snow. Do you know when the last time I saw snow was? When I was seven years old!! That’s eight years ago!!!
Ok,
HAPPY FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! HAPPY FALL!!! I’ve always wanted to go to Australia. Do you live there? There was a kid in my third-grade class from Australia. He had a really cool accect and everything.
One of my best friends lived in Australia for 6 years. Our plumber is also from Australia.
What is it like? Tell us about it!
No, I don’t live in Australia, I curently live in a place just as hot, way more humid, (I think, I haven’t actually been to Australia) and a whole lot smaller, though it’s still an island. ( Ooooh! Guess where! )
But don’t bother trying to track me down or anything, because we’re planning on moving in about a month or so, which is why I mentioned the different seasons and everything. Australia’s not the only place in the Southern Hemisphere, though. What about– well, I guess I can’t write it here, because I’m MOVING there, (and heaven forbid what would happen if you knew where I lived,) but… I’m going the Kiwi way.
( I love that word, don’t you? Kiwikiwikiwikiwikiwi.)
Oh, you’re allowed to tell which country you’re in. If it’s big enough to have states or provinces, you’re even allowed to narrow things down that far. It’s cities that make us nervous.
New zealand?
Yep.
so which country are you moving to? (if your moving out of new zealand)
HAPPY SPRING BREAK TO EM!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
Yeah, where are you moving?
96.) and 98.) : Oops, sorry. That was a little confusing. This is the straight forward version: I live in Hawaii right now, (which is the little humid island) and I’m going to move to New Zealand in about a month or so. I just came back from a Jan./ Feb. trip to N.Z. which is their summer. It was spectacular. I could really see why they’ve been filming movies there. The place we’re going to move to is near the spot where they filmed the battle scene from Narnia.
Cool!
Archipeligo, to be exact…..
They also filmed LOTR there…..
