I always thought 21st of March was the "First day of spring".

 

But yesterday on the radio they claimed its the 20th?

I agree with the 21st, and boy-o-boy is it Spring out there this morning, zero wind, very mild and incessant birdsong.

So mild I was actually tempted to go skinny-dipping in me new pond when I had the dogs out at 06:00.

Ok, just googled it.

 

Apparently it was the 21st of March (so I've not gone senile, phew)

 

Apparently in the Vernel Equinox only fell on the 21st 36 times out of the last 100 years.

 

Does it really matter, why do they have to change everything?

21/36=58%, is a significent majority, I say the 21'ers have it.
