At 28 days and the second month of the year, February is the briefest
month of the year.
As the story goes, the month of February aalong with January
was added to the Roman calendar by King Numa Pompilius at a
time when their calendar then totalled only 10 months.
Of note is that February has 29 days on a leap year. Such
as the years 2008, 2012.
In the Northern Hemisphere it is typically a frozen month,
while toward the end it may begin to show signs of relieving
temperatures while heading into March. In the Southern, summer
roughly crosses the halfway point.
