Default Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter

I asked a while back when Autumn was because of an Autumn Ball I am
organising, well, in the Company's Diary I am sending out, there is a little
bit as follows:-

Spring begins March 20th @ 05.48
Summer begins June 20th @ 23.59
Autumn begins September 22nd @ 15.44
Winter begins December 21st @ 12.04

So I guess anywhere between September 22nd and December 20th and I can call
it an Autumn Ball :-))

Yes Mike, it does vary slightly, but if you reckon on the equinoxes and
longest and shortest days being the 21st of their respective months you
will not be far out.
