2/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Today is Hogback Day, a spring holiday around our house. We have a long hogback to the east blocking part of the horizon. In the winter as the sun rises farther to the south, it rises over the hogback. At the winter solstice, it rises at "Solstice Rock", our name for a finger of rock on the hogback ridge line. As winter wains, and the sun rises farther to the north, it traces a path back along the ridge until, on February 25, it clears the north end of the hogback and rises at the horizon once again--a cause for celebration. Spring starts now. Unfortunately, today is overcast with snow expected, so we did not see the sun rise at the horizon. We will celebrate anyway.
