Spring has Sprung

Jalál (Glory), 19 ‘Alá (Loftiness), 166 BE – Saturday, March 20, 2010 about 11:01 AM Pacific Time

The sun crossed the vernal equinox and spring arrived in all her glory. Despite the fact that winter is holding on tenaciously, today is the first day of spring and in a few weeks summer will arrive. There is still snow covering the Rocky Mountains, in fact the ski area on Mount Charleston is still open and people are snow skiing.

It seems a bit chilly in Las Vegas, but this is the first day of spring. The wind is blowing, which means a wind chill factor. The sun is shining and there are clouds in the sky. It is a nice day in Las Vegas, you just have to remember to put on a sweater or long sleeved shirt when you go outside.
