Vernal Equinox
It’s that time of year. Spring will arrive at 4:58PM CDT this afternoon, so this is the first full day. You can watch it come at em>Archæoastronomy.
The air is already filled with pollen and the live oaks are dropping last year’s leaves. The azaleas have already peaked and the pear trees were snowy with blooms at the end of February..
I would note that locally we have had 12 hours or more of daylight since St. Patrick’s Day, and usually do.
