First Day Of Spring 2010
First Day Of Spring 2010
The first day of Spring 2010 is here! The official start to the first day of the new season is technically at 1:32pm EST, but who’s counting? Springtime is upon us with some nice sunny weather, pretty flowers, and lots of birds chirping and animals coming out of hibernation.
The first day of Spring is marked by the Vernal Equinox, which means the sun is supposed to sit exactly vertical above the equator. This happens twice a year: once in the spring, and once in the late fall, usually toward the end of September. But, it doesn’t happen for a whole day or anything — just an instant.
Weather in lots of the US is warm and sunny to reflect the start of Spring, but unfortunately not every place is so lucky. Snowstorms are expected to hit the Southern plains, bringing lots of powdery white to Kansas and Oklahoma.
