East central Iowa | At the time I post this it's only 348.677777 days away. I wrote a python program to compute the days until spring, just for winter, but it keeps working. If you want save it yourself, copy below, paste into notepad, save as spring.py with notepad _________________________________________________________________________________________ from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone import time
def minutes_until_spring(): # Get the current time in the central time zone central_timezone = timezone(timedelta(hours=-6)) current_time = datetime.now(central_timezone)
# Calculate the date of the spring equinox for the current year year = current_time.year spring_equinox = datetime(year, 3, 20, 4, 37, tzinfo=timezone.utc) # Spring equinox is usually on March 20th at 4:37 UTC
# If the spring equinox has already passed this year, calculate it for the next year if current_time > spring_equinox: year += 1 spring_equinox = datetime(year, 3, 20, 4, 37, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
# Calculate the time difference between now and the spring equinox time_until_spring = spring_equinox - current_time minutes_until_spring = int(time_until_spring.total_seconds() / 60)
return minutes_until_spring
# Display the minutes until spring in the central time zone minutes = minutes_until_spring() print("Minutes until spring in the central time zone:", minutes)
# Wait for a response input("Press Enter to get days until spring...")
#Calculate days by dividing minutes spring_days = (minutes / 60)/ 24 print("days",spring_days)
input("roughly . . . .")
