Poll: Is today the first day of spring?

Or was it last month? Or is it later this month?

FOR MANY, TODAY – 1 March – is the first day of spring.

Metereologically-speaking, this is the case according to Met Éireann with temperatures and weather conditions to generally improve from this month onwards.

However, some astronomers would say spring begins at the Vernal Equinox, which falls on Saturday 20 March.

Others might remember being taught in school that 1 February marked the first day of spring.

So, today we’re asking you: Is today the first day of spring?


Poll Results:

No, it was 1 February (5317)
Yes, it is (4387)
No, it's on 20 March (1036)
Not sure (500)

    The kids are not all as stupid as you make them out to be. Give them some credit. Who do you think watches Jon Stewart and the like?

    Jesus wept. I’d rather watch repeats of the DJ Kat show.

    I just love how Vincent’s core job is basically to “talk” but unfortunately he so struggles with that very simple task!!!
