Since today is St. Patrick's Day (at least observed here in the USA.) I was going to post "The Scottsman" song (aka "The Drunk Scottsman". (by Dr. Demento, I think))... however, the site where I had my playlists has been taken over by MySpace.I am not thrilled with this, to say the least! I wouldn't be so upset if ALL my songs had been imported... but I couldn't be so "lucky". (eh... bad pun, sorry.)
So, instead, let me just share an interesting fact I heard last night...
As everyone (I assume) knows, Saturday is the 1st official day of Spring & it officially "arrives" at 1:32p EDT (>5:32p UTC <-- Time zone converter, if you need it.) ... However... that is actually the time for when it will be spring AT THE EQUATOR...
Mark Johnson (Chief Meteorologist at WEWS / NewsNet5) stated last night, for Cleveland the equal amount of daylight is actually TODAY!!!
The sun rose at 7:38a & will set at 7:39p. (& tomorrow it will be the same... I find that even more interesting.)
Not only is Saturday the 1st day of Spring... but it's also my 41st birthday. Geesh... It still doesn't seem possible to be 40... let alone turning 41!!!
Also, it's the day I don't want to see anymore snow, until mid to late October!!! (Actually, I'm ready NOW not to see anymore snow... I'm ready NOW for the temps to stay in the 50's & 60's!!!)
Unfortunately, though, it looks like we'll be getting a little snow, possibly, Sunday night & Monday.
However, it shouldn't be too much and probably won't be around much. (At least we hope so!!)That's all for this time... Have a GREAT day (or night!)
P.S. I'll look for a spring "theme" / background later. ;o)
ReplyDeletethat is nifty
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, it's not spring in Australia either. ;) Sunday the 28th of March is when our official spring starts, that's when I need to remember to change the clocks. :)
ReplyDelete@Dory... ahh... I forgot to add that I was speaking only of the US for 1st day of Spring. (It's Autumn for our Australian friends.)
ReplyDeleteWait a sec... you don't have the spring Equinox until 3-28?? Or do you, personally, just go by the changing of the clocks? *is confused*
Yes, it's clearly time for the snow to GO AWAY!!! We're having a lovely sunny spring day here in St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteOh, I go by the changing of the clocks, sorry. It's the actual equinox on the 20th here apparently, according to a Wiccan calender thingy. It's me confusing you, I'm good at that. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly ready for Spring! We've been having nice, sunny days for the past several days, although I think it's supposed to get cooler again after Sunday. I certainly hope we don't get any more snow. I really don't want to have to shovel any more of it.
