Hi All,=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Jan =
25, 2013
=A0=A0=A0While thinking about warmer days to come I remembered that Candlem=
as day (Feb 2) was (perhaps) halfway between the winter solstice and the sp=
ring 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.

=A0=A0=A0On 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".

=A0=A0=A0What is the meaning of "halfway" in this context ?

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville=20
