Mud Month?

Was looking for something interesting to say about February and its weather (see below), and came up with the following from Wikipedia:

Historical names for February include the Anglo-Saxon terms Solmonath (mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's designation Hornung. In Finnish, the month is called helmikuu, meaning "month of the pearl"; when snow melts on tree branches, it forms droplets, and as these freeze again, they are like pearls of ice. In Ukrainian, the month is called лютий meaning the month of ice or hard frost.

Actually 'mud month' is a little unfair - February really wasn't that bad - still quite cold, but generally rather sunny:

Thus far, March is continuing cold but sunny - the Green Shoots of Spring remain 'un-sprung' for the most part. St David's Day has come and gone without a daffodil to be seen - although there are signs of flowering any day now . . .
