Spring Has Sprung Around the World Though spring kicked off in the northern hemisphere on March 1, for many the season begins on March 20, marking the spring equinox - the astronomical beginning of spring. On an equinox, day and night are of approximately equal duration all over the planet.
While in St. Petersburg and New York City the snow has just started to melt, some places are already covered thick green grass and colorful flowers. Take a look at these inspiring spring locales around the world in Sputnik's photo gallery.
