Vernal Equinox

An equinox occurs twice a year and the Spring or Vernal Equinox, for those of us in the Northern hemisphere,  will occur this year on March 20, 2012 at 1:14 A.M. (EDT). At this point in time the tilt of the earths axis relative to the Sun is neither towards or away.

The equinox that occurs in March signals the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere. The temperatures here in Gulf Breeze, Fl seem a bit warmer than normal for the beginning weeks of March but I have still thoroughly enjoyed my mornings on the deck watching the birds and blooms.
