February in the Roman calendar was last month year, it is named after the ancient Italian god Febru or the Roman goddess Febris (febris in Latin “fever”).
February (lat. Februarius) - literally means “month of purification, propitiation.”
Slavic names of the month are transparent. Snowfall - from the abundance of snow, blizzards and blizzards, especially characteristic of February. Sever - because it “cuts” winter in half or “cuts off” winter from spring. Bokogray - because average temperature this month is higher compared to December and January. Wide or crooked roads are a typical sign of February, primarily in the south and center of Russia, when the snow begins to melt in the sun and freeze again in the evening, making the roads slippery and uneven; places where the road has turned into impassable viscous mud require a detour, the sides are moved apart, so that the roads actually become wider and wider.
February has long been called wedding day or simply wedding. This time was devoted to weddings. In the Pskov Chronicle, under the year 1402, it says: “A tailed star appeared on the western side, and rose with other stars from weddings to Palm Saturday.” Strictly speaking, the period of time designated by the ancient Russian chronicler (“weddings”) did not completely coincide with February, like the wedding celebrations themselves; it began in January (after Epiphany) and continued until Maslenitsa, which, as is known, belongs to to moving holidays and usually falls on different weeks of February.
In the sequence of twelve months of the year, February takes its place. Once upon a time, in Ancient Rus', As in Ancient Rome, he completed the year (at the March New Year), before the reform of Peter I he was listed as sixth, and since 1700 he became second.
For the farmer, it was not so important what kind of month this month was; he attached much more importance to the fact that February is the last winter month, that signs of spring are already visible, albeit subtle, in it: the day is getting longer, the sun is getting a little warmer, thaws are observed more often and southern winds blow, causing even, calm snowfall to be replaced by blizzards, blizzards, blizzards, and blizzards. Naturally, windy weather with the same blizzards and blizzards also happens in other months, but in terms of the number of “blizzard” days, February remains an unattainable leader. The vector of February, directed towards spring, introduces into the characteristics of this month the theme of tension, the struggle between cold and heat, a clash in which winter is still winning, especially at the beginning of the month.
Let us remind you that in February one of the most respected church holidays, relating to the twelfths, is the Presentation of the Lord (February 15/2), understood by the people as the meeting of winter with spring.
All February features, of course, were reflected in proverbs, sayings and signs.

Poems about February
***
(Lana Lukanova)
February came at the end of winter,
He's cold, but we're happy
After all, the snow will melt away very soon,
The delicate snowdrop will bloom.
***
(Tatiana Kersten)
White-winged blizzards
They howl in February.
The animals have lost a lot of weight
In a cramped hole and in a hollow.
We will help them a little:
We'll bring some bread to the feeder.
Along snowy paths
We'll come to the dozing forest.
***
(Alexander Fukalov)
In February the frost is bitter,
Pinches ears and nose.
And piles of snowdrifts
The guy brought us February.
Bullfinches fly north
The wind blows more cheerfully
The sun shines longer, shines brighter,
Bokogrey is running out.
The snow hardens, freezes,
Sticks to the branches in the sun,
And the frost is already weaker
Stings ears, nose and cheeks.
May February be strong with a blizzard,
May his roads be crooked
But you can hear the trills of oatmeal,
That spring is already on the doorstep.
***
(S. Domnin)
Wow! Snowdrifts in February.
You are a sorceress, Winter.
Quietly dozing in crystal
And trees and houses.
***
(N. Zubareva)
I am February, I am the youngest son,
I am the master of blizzards.
I'll chill you all with the wind,
I'll spin in a snowy whirlwind,
I'll cover my faces with snow
And I’ll drown in the snowdrifts,
I'll pour snow indiscriminately
And in your pockets and behind your collar!
The kids are not afraid!
Doesn't leave the yard!
Baba rolls the snow
And he plays with all his might in the snow!
The winds blow in February
The pipes howl loudly.
Like a snake rushes along the ground
Light drifting snow.
Rising, they rush into the distance
Aircraft flights.
It celebrates February
The birth of the army.
***
(M. Gergaulova)
There are snowstorms in February,
It's still winter in February
But spring drops
I dreamed about it yesterday.
I dreamed of the sun in the sky,
I dreamed of the first grass.
I dreamed of birds from the south,
Wind and green foliage.
In the morning I run to the window -
Winter miracle, everywhere
Snow and blizzard are circling, circling
White waltz on the ground.
But winter will give way soon
All rights will be given to spring.
In the meantime, snow and blizzard
Let them dance in silence.
***
E. Yaryshevskaya
Winter collected its luggage in February:
Blizzards, snowdrifts, blizzards packed.
The last one shoved in the dank fog,
And by March a large suitcase was packed!
The old woman rode north without haste:
She yawned and cracked ice-nuts,
I read a little, took a little nap,
For some reason I then looked into the suitcase:
- Wait! I forgot! Terrible sclerosis!
Left its best frost in March!
It's obviously time to see a doctor.
It's a shame! We'll have to go back now!
Farewell feral!
(Yu. Kamysheva)
And in the cold air
There is no more frost.
And they know melted puddles
One big secret.
That the sun is bright
The ice will melt in the morning,
Why do we need coats for jackets?
It's high time to change.
That the rays are magical
Dispel the winter darkness.
And fly through the streets
Spring chaos,
Will merge with the bird
Chirp and fly away into the distance.
And with him they will leave us
Bad weather and February.
***
(N. Knushevitskaya)
They flew after each other,
Started your own round dance
In February there is a blizzard behind the blizzard,
The sky disappeared into the clouds.
Birds are huddling on the branches,
Forgetting my song,
And the chilled titmouse
Housing flies towards the warm.
But the sun is shining
Following the snow dance
And sends it to earth
Hello next spring!
***
(Z. Pisman)
There's a snowstorm in February
And the snowfall dances,
In February the frost plays,
IN the forest is coming, I'm glad for the snowdrifts.
In a snow-white robe,
The forest stands like a giant
And for the brides on a date,
The frost itself wove the outfit.
The forest was decorated with pearls,
Threw the snow clouds,
Silvering under the ice,
A river like a thin thread.
Bullfinches are pecking, frolicking,
They are circling over the rowan trees,
The squirrel jumps down from the tree,
The tail hung on a branch.
The hare looped skillfully,
Apparently the hare has something to do,
Our forest is waking up
There are many, many miracles in it.
***
(L. Samoilenko)
February is not cruel, I don’t believe it.
He's just cool in the beginning.
And by spring the doors will open
And he will fly away to rest.
And today it's so cold...
I'll take my skis with me.
Be careful behind the lane
I’ll put them on - so be it...
And to the birch grove I
I'll run quickly.
The backpack on my back is not skinny:
It contains both a bun and a stew.
I will treat the forest brothers,
I will give them a feast on the mountain.
I am very happy
To be their elder sister.
In February it goes like this:
I looked out the window, and there -
Here's a snowflake flying by
And another one flies after her,
Third, fifth, sixth,
Outside the window they fly fluttering,
In a snowy blizzard round dance,
Winter is passing us by.
