Spring



Spring in Animal Crossing starts on the 18th February, when the trees begin to go green (after they go white, for Winter). This shouldn't be mistaken for bugs and insects appearing for this season - these appear at the beginning of March. Snow completely disappears and the grass turns green on the 25th of February.
