Last day of winter

[vaneramos]

jeff2001 pointed out that spring starts at 10:49 p.m. PST, but that doesn't do me any good. Vernal Equinox indeed comes early this year, but here in EST, it happens at 1:49 a.m. on March 20. My birthday occurs relentlessly on the last day of winter. Besides, I woke up solidly 40 this morning; I was born around 6 a.m., almost 18 hours earlier than my West Coast friend.

I don't remember the last time we had so much snow on the ground for my birthday, either. Here are my obligatory Eramosa River birthday pictures.

Traditionally that indicates an early spring, and yet we never get much before the middle of March.
