This handy guide will keep you up-to-date as we get closer and closer to the official start of spring.

This year spring starts on Sunday, March 20th, 2016. So how many weeks do we have left to wait? How many days, or hours? Let's break it down.

At the time this post was written (Thursday, February 4th), This the breakdown:
Weeks: 6 and a 1/2
Days: 45
Hours: 1,086

Now let's keep the countdown going....

After watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, there are only 42 days until spring.

If you survive Valentine's Day, you only have 35 days until spring. That's 840 hours.

If you celebrate National Margarita Day (Monday, February 22nd), by the time you head to bed, you'll have 27 days until spring.

Unfortunately we have to make it through another day in 2016, seeing as February has 29 days this year. Make it through the extra day and you only have 20 days until spring. Or 480 hours, if you want to look at it that way.

Get geared up for the countdown to spring by heading outside for National Plant a Flower Day on Saturday, March 12th. After you enjoy the day, you'll only have 8 days until spring.

And don't forget St. Patrick's Day on March 17th - The unofficial mark of the start of spring. Only 3 days left after that...
Only 72 hours...
That's just 4,320 minutes....

See?? Spring will be here before you know it.
