Spring arrives early tomorrow morning. As mush as I like to see winter go, the seasons passing representing the spending of our true currency, our time.
Last day of winter

Winter does not suck.
But anyway, at 05:48 UT tomorrow, the sun will be directly over the equator for a while, and day and night will be equal...the vernal equinox will arrive and the days will get longer until the solstice in June.
Anybody know the formula for determining the date of Easter(without googling it)?

Winter sucks eggs.
Technically you are incorrect. Days are about the same give or take, DAYLIGHT is longer....
And don't get me started on the Niceans

winter, spring, summer, fall...all the same around here, we just get a little more rain, and a few more flowers at certain times of the year. ooh yeah the photoperiod (technically) is also longer.

The good news is that it's autumn for our friends down under.
Go ahead, folks. Say "winter sux" all you like.
I'll be sure to remind you, during those hammer-hot days of August when sweat is trickling down the small of your back and the home A/C bill looks like the GNP of a small South American country and you've got to go to work in your suit and tie with no A/C in the car . . . I'll remind you that these summer days that have tropical lemurs running for the Sears Coldspot controls are just what you wished for back in February! Haahahaha!!
(-- posted from an alternate universe, New Orleans, which gets almost no winter, fall, or spring at all, so any drop in temperature is an improvement)

Greek Orthodox Easter, or Jewish Passover are correct.
Standard Easter that is celebrated is often wrong.

I think that summer only lasted 3 gays this year.
Now there's a typo you don't see every day......NOT that there is anything wrong with that.

Standard Easter?
Whatever.
I did misspeak.
In the West, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the "Paschal Full Moon", which is the first "ecclesiastical full moon" after March 20, which in 325AD was the vernal equinox. WEstern churches use the Gregorian calendar, while Eastern churches use the Julian calendar, as well as the actual astronomical full moon and equinox along the meridian of Jerusalem.

Which is right or wrong depends on which cult you belong to.
My wife is 1/2 Greek, so I get to celebrate both Easters. That's a lot of Easter eggs.
