Ready for normal late winter temps along with the longer days! That would feel like spring anyway at this point.

The Earth's axis isn't perpendicular to the Sun. It has a degree tilt making it so the Sun's light/heat falls more on the Equator than at the poles. As you go North or South of the Equator, there's less amount of light falling on land.
