ruary of this year. February has long been recognized as a month in which no serious decisions or announcements of serious decisions should be made. The early Romans dedicated February to the lower world. In that month they worshipped Pluto and the souls of their dead ancestors. They looked down and back rather than forward. It was a time of no decision. Medieval Christians saw February as the worst of months. Even a “fair February” was frowned upon, as noted in a Welsh proverb that “A Welshman would rather see his mother dead, than see a fair February.”
