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 ? Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
