My soul wants to agree with Mr. Pope, but alas, my garden doesn't. My vegetables don't think it's spring, meteorologically, until about mid-April at the earliest! utah-meteorology@mailman.xmission.com In a message dated 2/28/2007 8:58:47 PM Mountain Standard Time, paw@wirelessbeehive.com writes: Actually, in this instance you only need to think meteorologically. Your post got me curious so I emailed Dan Pope (now with channel 5 - KSL) and he replied: "Meteorological spring begins tomorrow March 1. Meteorological summer begins June 1. Fall begins September 1 and winter on December 1." So, just think like a weather guy when you flip the calendar and all will be right with the (meteorological) universe. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
