Groundhog's day was today, and groundhogs around the world are ready for Spring. As am I. However, some wonder whether we've been doing it wrong. Despite good forecasts by the mammalia, a huge winter storm is pounding the Midwest and Northeast.
Other fabulous February events include Black History Month, remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora, and encouraging today's youth.
Also this month is the Mobile World Congress, an annual show being held in Spain featuring new technologies, as well as Valentine's Day, a much lower-tech event on the same day.
In the astronomical field, February marks a large discorvery of exoplanets -- some of which are pretty weird -- by the Kepler Space Telescope, as well as the mock arrival of a mock space mission to a mock Mars.
Completely unrelated, a new Harvard report says that college shouldn't be pushed quite so hard for students, the TSA is working on a less invasive body scan, and Google is accusing Microsoft search engine Bing of cheating - copying results from Google's search engine.
What's new for you in February?
