COTTonLINE joins our readers in welcoming official spring to the northern hemisphere. Today marks the spring or vernal equinox, the day when day and night are of equal length.
In CA we've had spring weather for a month and a half. Our region of inland northern California does long springs and summers, short falls and winters.
Most years our fall lasts two months - October and November - while winter also lasts about two months - December and January. Each of the other seasons runs about 120 days.
Spring is basically February through May and summer is June through September. You wouldn't like this area's air conditioning bills, the heating bills are easy.
