Hi All, Jan 25, 2013
While thinking about warmer days to come I remembered that Candlemas day
(Feb 2) was (perhaps) halfway between the winter solstice and the spring
equinox. But when I checked by counting days it is not quite halfway; Dec
21-Feb 2 is 43 days & Feb 2-Mar 21 is 47 days.
On the other hand this site--
http://projectbritain.com/year/candlemas.html
says that Candlemas day is "halfway between the shortest day and the spring
equinox".
What is the meaning of "halfway" in this context ?
