Well folks,​

The vernal equinox is on March 20th at 6:45pm (EST).​

That is just ONE MORE WEEK OF WINTER LEFT!!!!!!​

The equinox brings thoughts of sunny warm days spent sitting out on my sundeck with a nice glass of wine in my hand and some sort of animal on my grill.​

On the equinox the Earth's axis tilts neither away from nor towards the Sun and is perpendicular to the Sun's rays.​
 
Thank You! It has been years since I took a science class, let alone a free one. :sh
 
We have had it here already for a week or so. When the real one gets here we will probably get a blizzard. Arne.
 
Well, spring began last Friday. I celebrated by shoveling the 5 friggin new inches of snow we received!

I sure hope that this is the last snow storm. About a third of the way into clearing my driveway, my snow shovel finally had enough. The handle snapped right at the point where it meets the blade. I had to finish the driveway off using a standard flat shovel. Took forever!

After I got done, we got a call from my SIL down in Atlanta. Oh how she went on about how it was in the mid 70's and beautiful. There are times that I truly despise family.. just kidding... maybe... :)

BTW, it was 24 degrees this morning.
 
WOW, you wore out a snow shovel. That is not really the way to get your daily workout. Hope spring gets there pretty soon. Arne.
 
John we only had a dusting of snow up here, but we had you way beat with cold. Yesterday morning it was 4 degrees and today it was an even 0. Top that off with a very refreshing BREEZE and it spells COLD. Working inside again today.
