White Plains Says Goodbye to Winter

Though it felt like spring, Monday was the last official day of winter. Many in White Plains enjoyed the day that warmed up to about 75 degrees, before the official arrival of spring. Check out our photo gallery.

Tuesday, March 20 at 1:14 a.m. marked the beginning of the spring or vernal equinox in the Northern hemisphere.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s website, the vernal equinox is when days and nights are equal at about 12 hours each. Spring also signals the renewal of nature as worms and bugs begin to appear, plants bud and bloom, and birds begin to sing.
