Spring officially started at 6:28 a.m. Eastern time today. But for many people across the U.S., the weather (and people's moods) didn't get the memo.

The weather forecast simply ignored the memo.
Much of the Northeast had fresh memories of a major snowstorm.

For some lucky Texans, spring has been going on for months.
It doesn't feels like a #spring day today. However, #FirstDayOfSpring means longer, energising and brighter days. #MondayMotivation pic.twitter.com/6bdAdu7R4c
