All About The First Day Of Spring
The first day of spring is March 20th (sometimes March 21st), and it is also known as the vernal equinox. This means it is the exact day separating winter from spring. Actually, to be more precise, it is the first day of spring north of the equator - in the south it is the first day of autumn.

Equinox is a Latin word which means "equal night". This is the time of the year (and there are two days in each year) during which the day and night are of equal length.

Spring is the time of year when winter is ending yet summer has not yet begun. It is time to put away the winter coats and get out the swimming trunks. Before long the flowers will bloom and the air will buzz with insects.
