coastalplainsnowman Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Figured this would be an appropriate thread to post this in: I was really surprised to learn this morning that February is apparently by far NYC's driest month. Based on a website that turned up in my google search which is admittedly probably third hand information, Feb's average is about 5.7cm of liquid precip, while all other eleven months are remarkably consistent, between 9 and 12 cm per month. February stands out for its dryness. I know that unclew, the mets, and probably most others here realize that but I would have never guessed that. I'd always just assumed February was a stormy month that was wetter than most around here. Never too old to learn something new I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unc, you or anyone else have any idea why they made February only 28 days long? It sounds like a weird question, but logically, you could have all 12 months alternating between 31 and 30 days and that would give you 366 days for the year (so our leap years would be covered.) For the other years, you could just take one of the 31 day months and shorten it by one day to 30. I never saw the reason to have a month be 28 days long.
