Happy equinox! On Tuesday, there'll be an equal amount of daylight and night. Flowers will start blooming again soon, the weather will get warmer, and the world will start looking alive again. It's the first day of spring!

Unless you live in the many places where it still feels a lot like winter.

The East Coast is getting slammed with another nor'easter this week that's expected to dump almost a foot of snow from Boston to Washington, D.C. It's the fourth nor'easter in three weeks (which one news station dubbed a four'easter) to hit New England and the Mid-Atlantic, and people are pretty done with the first day of spring.

Many took to social media to complain about the storm that's set to start Tuesday, snow through Wednesday, and may last until Thursday.

Because it really does feel like an endless winter at the Wall.

Here are a few of the tweets that pretty much describe what the first day of spring is like on the East Coast of the United Sates.

While most people complained about the dreary weather, some bid their seasonal depression goodbye.

Whether you're in sunny Southern California or right in the path of the four'easter, happy first day of spring!
