Why isn't the first day of spring on the vernal equinox?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) March 17th, 2009

Today is the vernal equinox, here in The Cornfield the sun rises at 7:32 a.m. and sets at 7:32 p.m. I always thought of this as the beginning of spring. Turns out spring doesn’t start until Friday. Any ideas why that might be?
