Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I don't think there is a state one, but I wouldn't necessarily trust the state anyway. As you know th Equinox is just the time of equal day and night which occurs midway between midwinter and midsummer, and midsummer and midwinter.
