 WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF FEBRUARY?

January and February were added to the Roman calendar by Numa Pompilius about 713 BC. February remained the last month of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC) when it became the second month.

At the time passes, February was shortened to 23 or 24 days, and a 27-day intercalary month, Intercalaris, was inserted immediately after February to change the year with the seasons. Under the reforms that instituted the Julian calendar, Intercalaris was removed, leap years occurred regularly every fourth year, and in leap years February became 29 days. Thereafter, it remained the second month of the calendar year, meaning the order that months are displayed (January, February, March, …, December) within a year-at-a-glance calendar. The Gregorian calendar reforms made slight changes to the system for determining which years were leap years and thus contained a 29-day February. The purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar.

GROUNDHOG DAY (FEBRUARY 2)

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2 in the United States and Canada. According to the tradition, if it is cloudy when the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil emerges from its burrow on this day then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF GROUNDHOG DAY?

The first observation of Groundhog Day occurred in 1886 in Punxsutawney. Over the years, several other locations have begun using their groundhog, including General Beauregard Lee of Atlanta, Dunkirk Dave of Dunkirk, New York, and Jimmy of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

In 2018, Phil the Groundhog, saw his shadow, suggesting six more weeks of winter. However, the average temperature across the contiguous U.S. in February was above average, and March recorded slightly above-average temperatures, meaning the U.S. saw an early spring. Based on data from 1887 to 2018, Punxsutawney Phil is more likely to see his shadow. Phil has seen his shadow 104 times, with no shadow 18 times.

If you want to learn the weather prediction of Phil, just put a mark on February 2nd on your February 2022 calendar and watch the news on that day!
