"Vernal Equinox, Happy Spring !"


Welcome to Spring !  The Vernal Equinox is upon us.  Today, March 20th, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres will experience an equal amount of daylight.  For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of Spring with daylight hours continuing to lengthen until the Summer Solstice in June.  For those south of equator, it's the beginning of Autumn.
Technically speaking, the Equinox occurs when the sun is directly in line with equator.  This will happen at 5:58pm Eastern Daylight Time.
