SPRING! or is it?

Posted by: Astrometeor, 10:39 PM GMT on March 20, 2013

So, as others have pointed out, today is the first day of spring and is the vernal equinox. So 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night at the equator.

However, seems like for at least the east coast of the United States, winter still has her icy grip on us. Snow and cold temps are forecasted for at least the next week out, and no end in sight.

But an almanac has a good website full of information and fun facts on spring, everyone should go check it out. The comments are pretty funny too. Thanks to my local NWS for providing me with the link!

Springtime is here at last

The following two pictures are pics taken on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the springtime. It is the most visited national park, and having been there, I can say it is the most beautiful of them all.

Thanks to this blog for the above picture.

Thanks to Jerry D. Greer for this above picture.

Quoting Astrometeor: First, I am a Christian. My take on all of this is quite simple, religion was invented by humans to describe the world around them and explain why certain events happen. Basically an early science, albeit one that does not stand up to today's standards. Now that we have a better understanding of what goes on, and have thus disproven the idea of gods multiple times through the laws of physics, some people just can't let go of religion, it is a good story and has lessons to be learned from it, it just isn't real. But we really should get back to weather now, I am in disbelief on the topic of snow for my area Thursday night into Friday, some would say (or as I said on a friend's blog) that I am taking Washi's approach to this upcoming system. Astro, let me tell you one thing... I wish I were there when it was going to start flaking... why would I? Member Since: April 23, 2011 Posts: 33 Comments: 7930

I saw a couple flakes yesterday actually. Just really tiny, and I only saw 10 flakes in the one minute I was watching. Really wimpy stuff. Member Since: July 2, 2012 Posts: 28 Comments: 1298
