    The spring equinox is considered by many in America to be the 1st day of spring. Seems a bit late to me, I think 1st March is more appropriate, though it's more realistic than the Irish considering 1st February to be spring.

    I'm in Chicago and it has been between 24 and 28 degrees everyday for the past two weeks. I could get used to this weather.

    Shouldn't spring vary depending on where you are in the world and the local climate?

    Anyways, Ireland has a wet and a less wet season not this Summer, Autumn, Winterm Spring bull.

    I'm considering a sequel to " eating bananas in nightclubs", I call it "eating a bag of popcorn in nightclubs". It's a work in progress.

    What? I always thought it went like this:

    Spring - February, March, April
    Summer - May, June, July
    Autumn - August, September, October
    Winter - November, December, January

    ... no?

    That's the nonsense we were taught in school. February is one of the three coldest months. It's winter.

    If it went by weather, we'd have a pattern something like — winter, spring, winter, winter, winter, summer, spring, winter, summer, autumn, winter, winter, winter :P

    Surely we've the seasons that make the most sense — 1.5mth either side of the solstices are summer/winter, & either side of the equinoxes is spring/autumn.

    Below is reality;

    Spring - March, April, May
    Summer - June, July, August
    Autumn - September, October, November
    Winter - December, January, February

    Early march was still moderately cold anyway. Today was damn fine. Put away all my winter clothes this weekend. I need to tan, I'm so pale :(
