Vernal Equinox

It’s that time of year. Spring arrives at 10:31AM CDT this morning. You could have watched it come at 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 are snowy with blooms.

I would note that locally we have had 12 hours or more of daylight since St. Patrick’s Day, and usually do.

And in celebration of spring, it got up to 85F here in Sacramento today.

Coincidentally, my air conditioner bit the dust last week and they can’t get to it until next week.

Oh well. I know how to use a fan.

Just in time for the first heatwave of the year. With the drought you can’t even blow the fan over a big bowl of ice water or any of the other attempts to chill out in the heat.

You will be fine, but your equipment won’t like it.
