I had to look this up, but here is the answer to exactly when and why the 1st day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere:
Spring comes in between the 19th to the 23rd of March and at different times. It changes on a yearly basis because the first official day of spring is the (Spring) Vernal EQUINOX. This is when the sun is directly above the equator. It rises due East and sets due West and does not do so on the exact same day every year since the calendar is not exactly 365 precise days every single year. In 2009, spring will arrive on March 20th, and the sun will be above the equator, crossing to the northern hemisphere at 11:47pm (ish)
Spring is an especially beautiful time of year here. Not only the blazing, vivid colors of all the new growth, but of the fair weather and deep blue skies.
The photo above (with inset), taken just now, is a sample of what Loco Lane looks like today.
