some weather highlights

I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to weather. Maybe I should have been a weatherwoman or something...wear bad suits, iron my hair so it won't move while I'm waving my hand over the jet stream, well- anyway, here is the interesting "Weather Highlight" from today's Oregonian.

Yesterday was one of two days of the year when the sun rises due east and sets due west everywhere on the planet. Spring equinox is the other day this occurs. There is not equal time for daylight and darkness on these days however, because refraction by the earth's atmosphere changes the time of sunrise and sunset.

COOL.
