Canada will see earliest spring in 120 years.
 

Why? its a leap year

The equinox occurs at exactly 4:30 UTC on March 20 for the entire planet, however, due to the way we track time, Canadians will be split on when the first day of spring actually occurs. Roughly half the country gets to leave winter behind on March 19, since 4:30 UTC is before midnight for the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones. Meanwhile, the rest of the country - those in the Newfoundland, Atlantic and Eastern time zones - will see spring start in the early morning hours of March 20, as the Sun crosses the equator after midnight for those regions.

Merry equinox one and all!

easterners, always behind the times.

Never comes soon enough for me, though I must admit that this is the mildest winter I can remember.

Still over 12" of snow in the bush... I'd say a week or two earier than last year.

But that's just around GP.

Not gonna complain, unless it doesn't rain.

Grizz

I was just thinking that the days start getting shorter in 12 weeks. :(
Shorter days means fall is coming. :)
Fall means hunting and fishing in all of Alberta's splendor. Yahoo! :sHa_shakeshout:

As far as snow...I predict we will get a big dump in May.

Don't forget that this year was a leap year meaning that February had an extra day.

Early spring. Leap year> I think we should put the clocks ahead two hours this year for Daylight savings time.:thinking-006:
