Default Trivia question - how do you define the first day of spring ?

Yesterday got me thinking about this as I sat in the sun in our front garden in North London with temperatures nudging 13 deg in mid February. But on reflection I would describe yesterday as a mild late winter's day. Not quite warm enough and everything still too bare.


I go by the meteorological definition, 1st March, but at the same time
appreciate that the first half of March is really the tail end of winter
in terms of weather, but with more daylight, and proper springlike
conditions don't really take hold until late March/early April. The UK
weather can be a tease to gardeners at this time of year.
