About the March Equinox
www.timeanddate.com
On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, the day and night will
be of almost equal duration in most time zones in the
world. Here are some facts about the March Equinox you
might not know.
☼ Also Autumnal Equinox
The March equinox is the vernal (spring) equinox in the
Northern Hemisphere and the autumnal (fall) equinox in
the Southern Hemisphere.
☼ First Equinox of the Year
The second equinox, the September equinox, takes place
on or around September 22 every year. It's the Southern
Hemisphere's spring Equinox and the fall equinox in the
Northern Hemisphere.
☼ Marks the First Day of Spring
In the Northern Hemisphere, astronomers and scientists
use the March equinox as the start of spring, which ends
on the June solstice, when astronomical summer begins.
For meteorologists, on the other hand, spring in the
Northern Hemisphere begins three weeks before the
March equinox on March 1 and ends on May 31.
☼ A Specific Time Point in Time
Many cultures around the world celebrate the whole day
as the March equinox. However, in reality, the equinox
occurs at a specific moment in time when the Sun crosses
the celestial equator, the imaginary line in the sky above
Earth’s Equator, from south to north.
At this moment, Earth's axis is tilted neither away from
nor towards the Sun, but is rather perpendicular to the
Sun's rays, like the illustration shows.
In 2019, this is on March 20, at 21:58 UTC. For locations
that are more than two hours ahead UTC, it will be on
March 21. This is because of the time zone difference.
☼ The Date of the Equinox Can Vary
Remember when Spring Equinox was celebrated on
March 21? Well, remember again, because the last time
that happened was in 2007 and the next time it will
happen is in 2101!
Contrary to popular wisdom, the March Equinox can
take place on March 19, 20 or 21. In the 21st century,
the March Equinox has only occurred twice on March
21 – 2003 and 2007. A March 19 equinox will be more
frequent during the last decades of the century.
Note: These dates are based on the time of the equinox
in UTC. Due to time zone differences, locations ahead of
UTC may celebrate the March Equinox a day later, and
locations behind UTC may celebrate it a day earlier.
☼ Equal Day and Night...
Conventional wisdom suggests that on the equinox
everybody on Earth gets to experience a day and night
of equal lengths – 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of
night time. In fact, the name equinox is derived from the
Latin words aequus, meaning equal, and nox, meaning
night.
☼...But Not Quite
In reality though, most places on Earth get to see
more daylight than night time on the equinoxes. This
is because of two reasons: how sunrise and sunset is
defined and atmospheric refraction of sunlight.
Why don't the equinoxes have equal day and night?
Most locations of Earth, except those on the Equator, do
have almost equal day and night twice a year. The dates
for this event, which is also known as equilux, depend
on the location's latitude and can be a few days before or
after the equinoxes.

Planning Ahead for a 2019 Trip to Glacier
Visitation in 2018 was the second highest on record
West Glacier, MT – The park has begun preparations for the 2019 summer season. Summer is not only the time when most
of the public comes to visit the park, but also the opportunity to complete important maintenance projects on roadways and
facilities. “A little bit of planning can help visitors maximize their time in Glacier and be prepared for some of this year’s
projects they may encounter,” said Glacier National Park Superintendent Jeff Mow.
Pavement Preservation Project
This spring, the park will begin a two-year pavement preservation project on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Chief Mountain Road,
a portion of Camas Road, and in parking lots and other smaller roads throughout the park. Most work will occur before July 1
or after September 2, 2019 to avoid periods of extremely high visitation. The project requires warm, dry conditions for success
which will be challenging given typical Glacier weather conditions in the late spring and early fall. Hiker and biker access
along the Going-to-the-Sun Road is expected on weekends during the spring plowing season, unless weather conditions cause
significant project delays at the beginning of the season. Hiker and biker access on weekday afternoons is not anticipated. Any
adjustment to the schedule will be posted on the park’s road status website.
Significant pavement preservation work will occur on the following schedule:
• Spring 2019-June 22: Avalanche Creek to Jackson Glacier Overlook
• Spring 2019-June 30: Chief Mountain Road (night work with traffic control in place)
• Spring 2019-early July: West Entrance Station to Avalanche Creek (with traffic control)
• After September 3, 2019: West Entrance Station to Avalanche Creek (with traffic control)
• September 2-September 15: Avalanche Creek to Logan Pass (night work with traffic control)
• September 16-September 30 (likely): Avalanche to Logan Pass hard closure - Logan Pass will be accessible from the
St. Mary Entrance.
The park will also conduct pavement preservation in other areas throughout the summer, including Apgar Campground, Apgar
Loop Road, Apgar Visitor Center, Lake McDonald Lodge parking lot, Logan Pass parking lot, Rising Sun Motel parking lot,
St. Mary Visitor Center parking lot, St. Mary Campground, and the Swiftcurrent area. Portions of parking lots and campgrounds
will be temporarily unavailable while this work occurs.
Boating Season
This year, park waters will open on May 11 on the west side of the park, and on June 1 on the east side of the park. All hand-
propelled watercraft are required to receive an aquatic invasive species (AIS) inspection and free permit prior to launch. Gas-
powered motorized boats will be allowed on Lake McDonald following a 30-day “dry time”. Similar to last year, boaters can
have their boat sealed to their trailer at the Apgar AIS Inspection Station or an inspection station run by the State of Montana,
Whitefish Lake, Blackfeet Nation, or the Confederated Salish-Kootenai. Non-trailered boats with electric trolling motors
