February is the shortest month, so if you’re having a miserable month, try to schedule it for February.
According to the Gregorian calendar, February is the second month of the year, and also the shortest month. February has 28 days until Julius Caesar gave it 29, and 30 days every four years. According to tradition, Augustus, the Roman emperor, took one day off to add one day to August, the month named after him.
Damn those freakin’ Romans.
We now have February with 28 days, and 29 on leap years. Sweden had a February 30 in 1712. They tried it but didn’t didn’t work out. February begins on the same day of the week as March and November in a common year, and on the same day of the week as August in a leap year.
Sorry but there’s no rhyme to remember that.
In the northern half of the world, February is a very cold month. There are usually sunny days that show Spring is not too far off. The Southern Hemisphere usually enjoy midsummer weather during February.
