The weather, currently.
Here it comes the last Friday of winter 2021/2022. It will start off on a very mild note. Around 4°C early Friday morning with some sunny breaks. The clouds will quickly increase as we track yet another storm system that will push into the lower great lakes. That being said most of Friday will be dry with a pleasant high of 10°C. The wind will be light from the east at 10-20km/h. Showers will begin late evening and that will continue through the overnight, changing to periods of rain. The low 4°C. Side Note: Spring officially begins Sunday March 20 @ 11:33 am. —Anwar Knight

Happy #Equilux greater Boston! Today is the day the gap between sunrise and sunset is 12 hours. While the #springEquinox is Sunday, because of how we define sunrise and sunset and the equation of time, today is actually our true equal day and night. Now go impress your friends! pic.twitter.com/Kyqx3qfhKS

The next time this newsletter hits your inbox it will be truly “spring” in the Northern Hemisphere, by every definition— meteorological and astronomical. However many places experienced the equilux— or the time where day and night are equal lengths— today. Feels extra lucky to have an equilux on St. Patty’s day.
Tomorrow, if skies are clear near you look out for another spring phenomenon known as the “crow moon” or “worm moon”. This occurs when the moon appears larger in the sky because it is closer to the horizon and our eyes compare it to earthy objects like buildings and trees.
