Happy autumnal equinox! Now, you can finally say fall is here — yesterday was still summer. Today, the sun enters Libra, the marker astronomers and astrologers use to signal the shift of the seasons.
The equinox is one of only two days each year when the sun rises exactly due east and sets due west, creating nearly equal hours of day and night. If you watch your horizon today or tomorrow, you’ll notice this cosmically inspired point of balance. Track the sun’s path over the coming months as it slides toward its most southern point at the winter solstice.
Let’s talk turkey: winter doesn’t begin at Thanksgiving. Winter starts on December 21 and lasts only three months. That “Thanksgiving-to-Easter” winter perspective? It’s not only seasonally inaccurate, but just plain depressing. My second favorite ski condition, after powder of course, is slushy spring skiing and it doesn’t happen in winter (at least not yet).
