Spring has sprung!!!

Today is the first day of Spring. Yup. It’s today. Not March 21st. Spring is no longer determined by the calendar, according to NASA. It’s determined by the position of Earth in relation to the sun and occurs on the vernal equinox, which is the day when the length of daylight is equal to the length of night. The first day of spring in Timmins is rather mild. What a change from last night when we had a storm with high winds, white-outs and it resulted in schools being closed and the highways shut down. And tomorrow, the forecast is rain! There’s a saying in Timmins … if you don’t like the weather, just wait ten minutes, it’ll change!
