According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, the vernal equinox (beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere; of autumn, on the other side of the equator) takes place at 0007 Universal Time on March 21. That’s 7:07 p.m. MuseBlog time (= United States Central Daylight Time). Europeans, New Zealanders, and residents of other North American time zones will have to figure the local time out for themselves.
Anyhow, it’s spring on half the planet, and the other half has a nice season to celebrate, too. Rejoice!
w00t! VERNAL EQUINOX!
w00t! First (and second) post!
w00t, indeed, SM2K! Considering the topic and the beautiful day — which here is actually springlike for once — I, for one, will not consider your comments to be pointless posts. This is a day of manifest w00tness.
Spring. hmm. When I lived in Atlanta spring was actually a separate season. But in Houston, NO ONE NOTICES ANYTHING. ug. I hate Houston
That was a very negative post. Maybe something will happen.
*cry*
The snow is melting. There won’t be any more snow days. It’ll be warm.
3- w0000000000000000000000000000000000000t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought spring was 2day. weird. anyways, since it’s so nice out, i’m walking 8.657 blocks 2 my house 2day! w00t!
I want it to be spring, but not summer. At least we don’t have any osage trees here. THose things drop brain fruit and i have to pick them up so the dudes can mow. i like spring cuz its not to hot and not to cold.
Ugh. Definitely spring. My allergies are killing me.
i agree with dodecahedron
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY! I was going to make a post saying happy Spring, but the GAPAs beat me to it! YAY for Spring! I don’t know about other people, but I’m tired of snow. I hope we have a long Spring and a not-very long Summer (i. e. not a lot of HOT weather).
i hate the hot
Spring isn’t coming for us. We got really hot a couple weeks ago, and now we are in a cold snap again! My hands went blue during hockey this morning!
We have cold mornings and really hot afternoons. Well, it’s spring. Not that we had a harsh winter. We got about 3 inches of snow in 3 months. How fun…
happy spring everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a flowerdy pie in every face!
13 – our weather has been really similar to that! I think it’s all the way up in the 35-40’s today!! W00t!!
3- You bet it’s a day of manifest w00tness! I’m so happy I don’t even care that I don’t know what manifest means! W0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000t!
Of course, It’s not like I’m over-excited or anything.
Yay!! It was kind of a short winter here (in terms of the feeling…little snow), but it was SO COLD, like record cold, for about a month straight. It feels good to have the sun shining again.
“Here comes the sun, little darling, here comes the sun, and I say its alright…”
18-It was sort of like that for us, except now we’re getting close-to-record heat. What ever happened to normal temperatures?
Everyone who is getting springy weather is sooooo lucky! Today is cold and rainy. I guess i can’t complai about rain since we’ve had very little this year (i heard on the radio that we’ve had like 10 inches less than usual) but still, beginning of spring isn’t supposed to be so COLD!!! grrrrr….
Wore capris for the first time all year today!! (I ran into a tree playing frisbee and scraped my leg thoug…whatever, I’m always really beat up during the summer
Yay for spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iiiiiiittttt’s tiiiiiiiiiimmmmme fooooooor thhheeeee…
flowers to bloom, and the trees to bud!
Time for us to jump in puddles of mud!
Time for butterflies to open their wings,
and time for the robins to siiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!
21-I wore shorts all winter. Except for a few days (including today) where I wore long pants.
YESSS!! Its officially SPRING!! Only six more months ’till fall!
Spring. w00t.
It was sixteen degrees today.
It’s the opposite of cold here. Wow, that was intelligent sounding. My point was, it got up to 90 last week. Gahhh.
We skipped spring and went straight into summer.
I got up this morning and checked where the sun was rising so that I would know where exact east was! I picked out some landmarks. If I stand in my treehouse, it’s exactly between two distant trees on the other bank of the dry riverbed-wash slash gorge thing. (about a quarter mile away)
Well, since I’m up at midnight anyway-
Happy Spring (Officially) !
Only a few months until summer…
It’s really cloudy here. Pretty soon though, we are supposed to get some milder temps. *hopes*
23 – WOW! Where do you live? I haven’t worn shorts since…probably August.
w00t it’s almost already spring! w00t
It’s been really sunny and warm for like, a week now, all in winter, but now it’s supposed to start raining just in time fro spring. *ponders the weird weather*
I reckon Spring starts when the daffodils appear. Trouble is, they all came out this year, looking bright and perky, and it snowed. You could tell they were disgruntled. They had that ruffled air, like a freshly raggeted wung. Now it’s gone grey and drizzly (we spell grey with an e over here because it’s more vague than American Gray), and the daffs just don’t know what to do about it. Heaven hlep the tulips if the weather’s stil playing these sort of tricks in a couple of weeks. I think I’m going to declare a series of micro-springs, interspersed with winterlets and quasi-autumnal episodes. That should cover it.
31 – That happened at my house!!! We had daffodils on our front lawn, they bloomed real early cause it was nice and warm, and then it snowed on them!!! And snow is quite a rarity in my town, we get it only about once every other year.
It was warm earlier… then it got all wet and rainy…
Ha, today I was going back into the band room to give Mr. Cantu the check for solo/ensamble accompaniments to give to my accompanist, and Kristain asked what the weaiter was like outside(tennis, they have to do things outside. Poor them. At least with girls tennis we got to do it while it was warmish in the fall and no snow on the ground. they had to run laps in the hallways for a few weeks) and I told him I thought it would be nice out, but I hadn’t gone outside yet. It was pouring rain. Remind me never to become a meteorologist.
SPRING HATH ARRIVED TO THIS WARM AND DREARY EARTH! CAPITAL! (sorry, just read Swiss Family Robinson)
34 o wow! it was like 80 degrees on monday and it was soooo awesome
