Spring Officially
Commenced Here
Today At 1:58 pm
The spring season was
ushered in with fury today
in northwest Alaska. Of
ficially spring commenced
it 1:58 p.m. today in Nome
according to the nautical
almanac compiled by the
u. S. Naval Observatory.
Leap year causes some
changes in the calculations
’or the beginning of sea
ions, the Vernal Equinox?
•pring, this year being in
duded in these changes.
Today it was possible for
he sun to rise at 6:03 a.m.
nd set at 6:14 p.m. making
2.2 possible hours of sun
hine. Nome was very un
ortunate in receiving sun
ight today, however. Corn
ered to the shortest day of
he year on December 21st,
vhen only 4 hours of sun
hine are possible and the
ongest day of the year on
rune 21st when 21.9 hours
jf sunshine are possible,
ve are in a period of equal
lays and nights. The days
engthen at this time about
;:x minutes more each day
until June 21st.
According to Meteorolog
ist Hayward, today’s wea
ther was the worst for the
flying situation experienc
ed since last March, zero
ceiling and visibility, ob
tained most of the morning
except lifting slightly at
times. The old saying that
“March comes in like a
lamb and goes out like a
lion,” may be confirmed if
the present conditions con
tinue at Nome.
