Spring Equinox is Tonight!

Even though it feels like summer we'll officially get into SPRING later on tonight! At 12:14am the sun's direct rays will cross the equator and that will mark the equinox! It's on this day all places on Earth have equal day and night (12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.) Here in the QC our daylight will conintue to grow until we hit the 1st day of summer in 3 months! On the North pole they'll be transitioning from 6 months of darkness to 6 months of light, and vice versa on the South pole!

Here's the Wikipedia link on the equinox!
