In Seattle we get six months of rain, and lots of short days. *Sigh*, the summer has passed, but on the bright side, most of my dive trips have been in March-May. SO, spring is getting closer.

Yesterday, September 21, last day of summer, we had snow in the afternoon. I love the Rockies (mountains, not the baseball team).

I love this change of seasons, here in FL the autumn is about 5 deg's less than the summer weather - woohoo. There are two seasons here, and they dont really switch on the equinox times! Summer and non-summer (which is not any of spring, fall or winter in any normal regional format) split around march/april til october/november

Happy Mabon to all...fall in Florida is wonderful and this year even better....we know that Hurricane season will be ending in the not so distant future!

As an aside...a good day to reflect on what needs balance in your life...

The equinox for "2004: SEP-22 @ 16:29"

The above dates and times were derived from the astronomical calculations on The Dome of the Sky web site. 15 Times are in UT (Universal Time). This used to be called Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. In North America, you can find your local time by subtracting:

3 hours 30 minutes for Newfoundland time
4 hours for ATL
5 hours for EST
6 hours for CST
7 hours for MST
8 hours for PST
9 hours for ALA
10 hours for HAW

Let's see, 16:29 - 6 = 10:29am CST = 11:29 CDT

Or Calf: 16:29 - 8 = 8:29 PST = 9:29 PDT

Damn, DinDavid! We agreed on somthing?! :shades:
