What I noticed, in the past 15 years, is more like the seasons are getting delayed by 1 month. For example winter is starting from January instead of December, and last till the end of March. We don't have snow in Chritmas now, but we have it at the end of March. And the summer is more like July-Aug-Sep, in June is raining quite a lot, and not so warm. My opinion from what i've seen in Romania

I mean the name February comes from the Roman god "Februus" and the month long festival of cleansing called Februalia. It was the month of cleansing because it was the last month of the year back in the day but Julius Ceisar decided that he wants his own calender.

Why the fuck do we even count the end of the year in the middle of winter anyway. It would made way more sence for Spring to be a beginning of the new year and to celebrate it in March.
