Vernal Equinox

The long bizarre summer of 2020 will finally end today as the Autumnal Equinox arrives today (Tuesday, September) at 8:30 a.m. CDT.

Easter Sunday wanders from March to April every year.  Have you ever wondered why that is? Well, believe it or not, it has to do with the "Full Moon".

Today marks the first day of Spring or the day that the Vernal Equinox occurs. After 96  long winter days, I think everyone is ready for Spring to arrive.

In my little crazy world, I consider Winter to be the months of November, December, January and February. So happy Spring to me on this first day of March. For the rest of you, your first day of Spring will not arrive until March 19 at 11:30 p.m.

Today marks the first day of spring or the day that the Vernal Equinox occurs. After the long winter we just endured, it couldn't come soon enough. The word Vernal means “occurring in spring” and the word Equinox means “equal night”.

The long, crazy summer of 2013 will finally end Sunday at 3:44 CDT when the Autumnal Equinox arrives. So basically there are only two days when the sun crosses the Equator. One is the Vernal Equinox or first day of spring and the other is the Autumnal Equinox marking the first day of autumn.

The long, hot summer of 2012 will finally end tomorrow at 9:49am CDT when the Autumnal Equinox arrives.   So basically there are only two days when the sun crosses the equator.  One is the Vernal Equinox or first day of spring and the other is the Autumnal Equinox marking the first day of autumn.
