Boston newsreader said today (September 22nd) was the start of fall.

Is the meteorological lag really that long?

Of course they can't be using the true meteorological lag because then the start of fall would vary from place to place (and I presume would never be that long anywhere).

I wonder what the origins of people calling the equinox the start of the season are.
