There are 15 days to the spring equinox or first day of spring. However it may not be a meteorological spring. Weather can persist because of many inputs including human activity. The traditional accepted day is the 21st however with better technology this year it is more precisely measured and is really on the 20th , in 14 days. There will be equal daylight and dark in the northern hemisphere on that day. Wednesday March 20th at 2:58 PDT will start the march to the summer equinox, here in Merritt BC.

Time change different event…

Don’t confuse the time change with spring! March 10th ( this coming weekend ) the time will spring ahead to daylight time at 3 am in the morning.
