Just when we thought (or perhaps wishful thinking?) winter had given way to an early springtime, wind battered our homes again and we were hounded by wind, warming temperatures, and muddy roads that thaw and then freeze. This is classic March weather teleporting us into the pre-spring month that can still be shaped by blizzards and ice storms. It’s not always about the temperature, it’s also the quality and angle of the light and that has definitely changed... the sun is rising with a pink glow earlier each day and with daylight savings time, there’s still a glimmer of light past 7 o'clock in the evening.

Tomorrow, we’re all Irish for the day, and it’s all about shamrocks, Leprechauns, Corned beef & cabbage, Guinness and great Celtic music.

"Icelandic chemist Tryggvi Emilsson, inspired by Wilson Bentley’s snowflake photographs, wanted to preserve the actual snow crystal so that it could be viewed even in the middle of a summer heat wave or serve as a pleasant memory years later. He devised a simple method of preservation that employed a common, everyday household item, super glue. He made his first snowflake 'fossil' in 1979."

Have you been noticing more extreme weather, warmer temperatures, and more unpredictable seasons? Wondering how these changes in climate might impact wildlife? Join Wildlife Outreach Program Manager Haley Andreozzi and Climate Change Adaptation Program Manager Lisa Wise to learn about the latest projections for climate change here in NH and examples of how wildlife species are being affected.

What happens during vernal equinox?

Vernal equinox, two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length; also, either of the two points in the sky where the ecliptic (the Sun's annual pathway) and the celestial equator intersect.
