Shake the snow off your boots, take off your gloves and hang up your winter jacket. It’s officially the first day of spring, ladies and gentlemen.
We’ve all been planning out our fresh Spring outfits to get ourselves ready for the long days spent outside and taking in the warm weather that felt like it was never going to come just a few months ago. Of course, if the weather keeps up like it has been, then we’ll be stuck under mounds of snow until May, but let’s not think of that right now.
Yes, we realize this may be a bit confusing thanks to the mountains of snow that have yet to melt outside. But March 20, 2018 truly is the spring equinox AKA the vernal equinox AKA warmer weather is en route. You may take a moment to do the happy dance.
This year, the spring equinox occurred exactly at 6:29 A.M. EST in the northern hemisphere (shout out to Christopher Columbus). At that time, the sun crossed directly over the earth’s equator. “What’s the big deal,” you ask? Good question.
From Metro:
“Meteorological seasons are based on the annual temperature cycle. As the meteorological calendar is split into four seasons of roughly the same length, it’s widely accepted that March 1 is the first day of spring.”
Warmer weather is right around the corner, let’s focus on what makes Spring so great. Stuff like baseball, days where you can just sit outside for hours on end and so much more. We’ve also made it makes, so that calls for a celebration!
In an effort to do just that, we’ve put together a gallery of the funniest and best first day of spring memes above. Take a look and enjoy the looming warm weather.
