THE EARLIEST SPRING IN MORE THAN 100 YEARS
In case you’re as schedule fixated as we seem to be, you may have seen something odd about the current year’s spring equinox date. Believe it or not—it’s sooner than expected! In any case, that is a touch of a modest representation of the truth.
For a significant part of the only remaining century, the spring equinox has happened on March 20 or 21. This year, nonetheless, the equinox occurs on the nineteenth in all U.S. time zones, making it the soonest spring we’ll have found in our lives (up until now). The last time spring showed up before the expected time was in 1896—an incredible 124 years prior!
