Countdown to spring begins
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, “March” is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. However, we think of it as the beginning of spring. March brings the vernal equinox, the Full Worm Moon and the return of Daylight Saving Time. Here are some dates to celebrate what everyone hopes will be the start of spring.
March 12 is the start of Daylight Saving Time, get ready to spring forward.
March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. According to folklore, folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because the saint used its three leaves to explain the Trinity.
March 20 brings about the March equinox—in the Northern Hemisphere—marking the beginning of spring. On this day, the Sun stands directly over Earth’s equator.
March 29-31 are known as the Borrowing Days. According to lore, the last three days of March have a reputation for being stormy.
