Doug, Which tradition are you using to mark this day as the first day of Spring? As defined by Western astrology, the first day of spring is the vernal equinox, which is March 20, 2016.

Those of us out on the land in our Global Northern Hemisphere are marking the beginning of spring this day today as we reach the halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The morning started this day here in Fairfield, Iowa with flash of lightening and thunder, well begun! Blessings to the world all. -JaiGuruYou
