Someone explain this. Spring starts tomorrow, Sunday, March 20. So it&#8217;s technically still winter. But according to Weatherbug, today&#8217;s sunrise is at 7:05 AM and sunset is 7:10 PM. How do we have a winter day that&#8217;s more than 12 hours long? I thought the days were supposed to be exactly 12 hours on the spring and fall equinoxes.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies fell to the Atlanta Hawks 120-105 yesterday.
