Happy Leap Day
Happy Leap Day!!! We get an extra day this year to enjoy in February.
In a leap year, the month of February is one day longer. But why? The year that we all think of as 365 days is actually 365.24 days. There’s almost an extra quarter day in there. Give or take .01. So, every four years, all those quarters add up to almost one and we get an extra day. Not a big deal over a handful of years, but in a century, it’s almost a month. If you would let it go a couple centuries, all the seasons would be out of whack. Imagine celebrating Fourth of July in the snow! It’s better we make the correction.
Enjoy your extra day!
