For the first time in months, water fell all around our house today. It fell from the sky. I think it is called "rain" in English.
We know that we are on the way to spring. Google says the spring equinox will occur on March 20:
Spring Equinox 2022 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 10:33 AM on
Sunday, March 20
All times are in Central Time.
Of course, big changes in the energy we receive can be disruptive. We still have some ice on our front walkway. As we change from colder to warmer, we know that snow and ice can block drains and waterways. Melting the snow pack on the grounds increases the runoff and this or that floods. I've heard that a weed is a plant growing where you don't want it. Often a flood is water where you don't want it. It can be dangerous or disruptive or damaging.
One of the differences I experienced between Maryland winters and central Wisconsin winters is ice. In the middle of the country, there is more warmth on many winter days, enough to melt snow which can freeze in the colder hours, creating danger of slip, slide and skid, day after day. At this latitude, we get less of that until winter changes into spring.
As the Earth moves around its orbit toward the spring equinox and summer solstice, we get longer days. We already notice the sun going down a bit later and more light longer.
