SPRING HAS SPRUNG

In the Northern Hemisphere today is the March Equinox, which marks the first day of Spring.

South of the Equator, it's the first day of Autumn.

This is the earliest the Equinox has arrived since 1896.

That's 124 years ago!

Which may account for how Spring looked in my neighborhood.


Yes, this is Arizona and yes, it snowed again last night.

Though in our Central Highlands, as shown by the top of my dumpster this morning, it was more rain than snow.


Nevertheless, the Blue Cat was not amused.


However what snow we received should melt off today and the Weather Gods tell us the high temperature Sunday will be in the lower 60's.

But to our north it may take awhile as Flagstaff, only about 80 miles away by road, received 11 and a half inches by early this morning.

So, if you're heading for the Northland today don't be too aggressive.

Remember, it's also ThrowBack Thursday!

  1. This is the last time the all night diner nighthawks will have equal time for six months. Take pity on Tom Waits and Alexie Sherman.

  2. All this snow, and Snowbowl in Flagstaff is closed for skiing due to the virus.

  3. I talked to my sister yesterday afternoon and she mentioned that it was possible to get some snow over night. I see she was right.

  4. We're having blue skies here for the next few days. It really helps to balance all the madness. I hope your skies clear and you can get out for a nice safe walk. Take care there and stay warm and cozy.

  5. Yeesh! More snow! What a drag!

    I'd forgotten today is the first day of spring. Thanks for that cheerful thought!

  6. We had rain yesterday and I'm seeing some flakes of snow coming down now but it's melting right away. Thanks for the heads up about spring, I didn't know that.

  8. The weather here in South Carolina keeps racing back and forth between extremes. It was almost 90F yesterday and tomorrow it will be the high 50s.

    We've also had a really wet winter and spring which probably means the summer will be extremely dry but humid.
