On March 20, at 1:26 in the afternoon (EST) the sun will be directly above the equator and moving north.

This has been a long, white winter.

In the Spirit of Springtime, I'm starting a countdown:

100 pellets of sleet on the sidewalk.

99 pellets of rock salt tracked into the front hall.

Does anyone else want to play?

We've had little winter to speak of. The plant life here has already decreed it's spring.

here in the southern most reaches of the great white north it's expected to be near 65 by the end of next week, that's odd for this time of year

I thought I posted on this thread a few minutes back. Well, some other members will get the benefit of my thinking on Houston weather.
