Aww, love that picture Stephanie! Happy first day of spring to those in the northern hemisphere!

[Peggy]

Cute!

[Stephanie]

Two of my favorite spring things..baby animals and daffodils :)

Totally right word.

Lol close enough. As long as your eyes still work. Crazy woman.

Hang on. It just hit the 21st here, it can't be your equinox yet.

Not that we care about them. Our autumn starts on the 1st March, and day 20 of autumn was a lovely 30 degrees. I love March.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

It's a hemisphere thing. If you are north of the equator, you're going into spring. If you are south of the equator, you're going into autumn.

[Sarah]

Wow today is busy astronomically - vernal equinox, solar eclipse and a supermoon. I'm hoping the clouds will stay away for tonight.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Our supermoon is covered in clouds :(

[Sarah]

I thought the equinox was the 21st too but when I saw the first day of spring pic I went to check it out and it says that this year it occurs today (20th).

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Fair enough, makes sense. My elder brother's birthday was the 21st March, which was the equinox in our household. Guess it changes with the moon.

[Janice, Moderator]

No solar eclipse here. Just the dead of night.

AWWWOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL! I just had a bat fly into the tree outside my window here, nearly hitting it. Remember my bats are about 60cms tall. Scared me silly.

I heard on one of our news programmes today that the US is going to have a near total solar eclipse in 2017. I assume Canada will get it too.

[Janice, Moderator]

We likely won't get the full eclipse up here, but we may get some sighting of it. How exciting that would be.

[KimeyDiann]

All of the talk about the eclipse and the super moon has me curious about something...
In the US we have a new moon tonight. So am I understanding it correctly that European countries have a full moon when the US has a new moon? And vice versa? I have never thought about that, but I'm thinking it makes sense. Maybe... my brain isn't fully functioning this morning so I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Well, the light snow became heavy snow, and we already have more than 2 inches in our backyard. Good way of starting spring! :)

[Tasha]

Ours is heavy now too. My daughter (8yo) is mad at the snow and swears it's warm outside bc it's spring. ;)

I'm wondering that, too. I really have no idea. Hopefully someone does and will enlighten us!

[Peggy]

I made cheesecake for dessert and it's in the fridge and I'm so tempted to try it right now already! Even though it needs to set for at least 1 more hour.. and I planned to wait for bf to get home and have it after dinner..

[Berit]

Peggy, you are making me hungry, and I probably shouldn't be eating cheesecake for breakfast ;-) it is still morning for me :-)

[Stephanie]

Cheesecake is good anytime of day ;) mmmmm...

[Lynda]

I just got off of a 9-day in w row work stint, so I'm a bit muddled and sleepy. When I haven't been working, I've been reading, as I didn't space out my library holds well, and they all kind of came due at the same time. I did finish my March read, though!

[Stephanie]

:( sorry you had to work that long:( no fun! Time for rest and relaxation?

[Sandra, Moderator]

Cheesecake... mmmmm... (like Homer Simpson)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Lynda, take a long bath, a cozy nap, and then pick a good book with a coffee and piece of Peggy's cheesecake. That's the best recipe for recovering.

[Berit]

I think we all need a piece of Peggy's cheesecake :-)

[Peggy]

I so wish I could send it through the internet to all of you!

Someone someday I bet will build the technology :)

[Janice, Moderator]

We have snow! We got a few inches over night of the white stuff.

[Berit]

When does the snow stop for you all? Doesn't it know it is spring?

[Janice, Moderator]

This should be it. We generally get a bad storm around March 17th. This was a pretty mild storm, but maybe this is it. One can hope. Likely there'll be skiffs of snow in April.

[Sandra, Moderator]

One of my kids was born on March 25th, and I remember it snowed the night before. It was only 1 inch, but it was cold enough so it didn't melt for a few days.
After the snow we had yesterday, today we have a beautiful sunny day, and a around 50F (11C).

[Travis]

It was snowing now raining then 8°f tonight 3°f tomorrow night. Usually we get a nice week around april 20 then about april 25 we get snow and cold and may 1 usually stay snow free although you can find patches of snow around the woods until june some years. Memorial day weekend can run anywhere from 35° and snow to 80° and sun. Our weather is very tempermental and you necer know what you'll get year to year. Heck day to day

[Travis]

See now its snow again. Can't turn your back for a minute

[Sandra, Moderator]

That's crazy, Travis.

They've predicted some snow for tomorrow here as well. Yuk! I hate it when it snows this time of the year, when all the "old" snow is already gone.

[Stephanie]

Boo for snow!! Keeping my fingers crossed for nicer weather for everyone :)

[Tasha]

My daughter had a 'Master Dance' class yesterday with a cast member/choreographer from the touring Annie show. He taught them a dance scene from Annie and talked to them about his job. She loved it. We see the show this afternoon in Phila. Can't wait! We may be able to get autographs today after the show too.

Our snow from this last storm on Friday is melting fast!

[Lisa]

We have lovely spring weather in my part of the UK today. It's sunny and quite warm. You still need to wear a little coat but it's nice enough to sit out in the garden :)

Now, if only I had some cheesecake....

[Travis]

We have a balmy 0°f. Setiously jealous of you guys who have spring. We basically have summer and winter

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Do I mention my 24C autumn day now, Travis? I had a jumper on and everything.

[Stephanie]

That's so cool, Tasha!! Have fun!!

[Berit]

Tasha, is your daughter a dancer? My daughter dance competitively for many, many years. When she started high school she decided to be a cheerleader instead, the dance background helped, but we spent a lot of time, energy, and money, on dance. I have to say I enjoyed watching her dance Waymore than watching her cheerlead. I know she misses it but the dance team at her school is not as strong as the cheer team.

[Travis]

Thats probably too hot for my arctic blood Rusalka. We are at -3°f now but supposed to get up to 17°f later today. If we can hit 45°f I'll probably have to bust out shorts

[Sandra, Moderator]

Lisa, it looks sooooo yumi!

[Lynda]

Well I went to my niece's first birthday party yesterday, and followed it up with a hockey game that night. Not relaxing, per se, but a lot of fun, and we demolished Portland for the last game of the season, so a good night all around.

Today, I'm going to do the bath, book, coffee, cheesecake suggestion for sure! Well, in spirit on the cheesecake since I can't eat dairy or sugar!

[Berit]

I know what you're saying about arctic blood, whenever you go to touristy spots in California like Disney land. You can always tell the Californians from everyone else we are the ones all bundled up when it's 65 F, everyone else is in shorts :-)

[Sandra, Moderator]

My husband and I lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for 4 years. There's only 2 weeks in July when the temp goes down around 60F (16C), and it was funny to see all the cariocas wearing boots, coats and even hats. On the other way around, they can be perfectly normal, active, functional people with 102F (40C) while we were wanting to die!

[Stephanie]

Travis, how is your bracket? With Virginia losing, I only have 2 teams left in the final 4 :( I had Virginia going against Kentucky in the championship :(
