February is full of snowstorms and March is dripping. February
The ancient Slavs had their own signs for every month and almost every day. Folk signs these were born as a result of many years of observation of nature and natural phenomena. These signs still work today, even though the environment is last decades rapid human activity has changed greatly. Since ancient times, these signs have been carefully collected and passed on from generation to generation. Today they represent a real treasure trove folk wisdom, a description of the laws of nature, the interaction of phenomena and elements, the relationship of different seasons and cycles of the year.
February in Ancient Rus' had several names, depending on the region. The first name “” comes from the fact that there are severe frosts in February. There are popular sayings about this: “February has two friends - a blizzard and a blizzard”, “February is a fierce month, one asks: how are you wearing shoes?” "Snezhen" - February is a snowy month. "Sechen" - strong winter winds cut through. “Bokogray” - by the end of the month the sun begins to warm up.
February was associated not only with frosts, but also with that happy time when winter counts down the time until its departure. The last month of winter is still fierce, trying to freeze people, but the winter days are already numbered, the sunny day is noticeably increasing and begins to give people not only light, but also warmth. In this regard, there are such sayings: “February cuts winter in half”, “February will add three hours of daylight”, “In February winter will meet spring”, “In February the sun turns into summer, winter turns into frost”, “No matter how angry February is, no matter how you frown, March, but it smells like spring”, “February is angry, but it smells spring”, “February-father knocks off the horn from winter” (in the pagan interpretation: Veles, knock off the horn from Winter!), “February to the forest boyar ( bear) warmed his side in the den”, “February the sun turns to summer”, “February snow smells like spring” and so on.

February-bokogray
In white and blue February
A blizzard rushes on a broom,
But sadness will take her,
And sides in the sun
This blizzard is warming,
And February is getting better.
Our February isn't so bad
He's been knocking off his horn since winter.
Me with a slingshot in the meadow
I'll go knock off her horns.

The winds blow in February and the chimneys howl loudly.
Light drifting snow rushes along the ground like a snake.

Glory to the dear army, on its birthday.
S. Marshak
Black ice
It doesn’t go and doesn’t go,
Because it's icy.
But it falls perfectly,
Why is no one happy?
Winter sings and echoes...
Winter sings and echoes,
The shaggy forest lulls
The ringing sound of a pine forest.
All around with deep melancholy
Sailing to a distant land
Gray clouds.
And there's a snowstorm in the yard
Spreads a silk carpet,
But it's painfully cold.
Sparrows are playful,
Like lonely children,
Huddled by the window.
The little birds are cold,
Hungry, tired,
And they huddle tighter.
And the blizzard roars madly
Knocks on the hanging shutters
And he gets angrier.
And the tender birds are dozing
Under these snowy whirlwinds
At the frozen window.
And they dream of a beautiful
In the smiles of the sun is clear
Beautiful spring.
S. Yesenin
frosty wind
Leap - sideways, Leap - sideways
A jackdaw walks past the windows.
All tousled by the wind,
Covered with snow.
Heavy, hairy wire ropes.
Every call is like a string -
The whole country was buzzing.
The thermometer immediately noted -
A frosty wind has arrived:
Between dashes and dots
The blue bar has become shorter.
E. Trutneva
Winter evening
The storm covers the sky with darkness,
Whirling snow whirlwinds.
Then, like a beast, she will howl,
She will cry like a child.
Then on the dilapidated roof
Suddenly the straw will rustle,
The way a belated traveler
There will be a knock on our window...
A. Pushkin
Feed the birds in winter
Feed the birds in winter
Let it come from all over
They will flock to you like home,
Flocks on the porch.
Their food is not rich:
All you need is a handful of grain
Let alone and not be scary
It will be winter for them.
It’s impossible to count how many of them die.
It's hard to see
But in our heart there is
And it's warm for the birds.
How can we forget:
They could fly away
And we stayed together
Winter with people.
Train your birds in winter
To your window
So that you don’t have to go without songs
Welcome spring.
Bullfinches
Run out quickly
Look at bullfinches.
We've arrived, we've arrived!
The flock was met by blizzards,
And Frost the Red Nose

Well treated
Well sweetened
Late winter evening
Bright scarlet clusters.

Moose letter
Winter night on the window
Moose left me a letter.
On a white window frame
He imprinted with horns -
Branches, paths and foliage...
Everything is clear: he’s waiting in the forest.

I’ll ride in the clearing.”
V. Stepanov
Snowstorm
Oh, blizzard, blizzard, blizzard,
Where were you last night, okay?
I drove around all the yards,
I sewed fur coats for trees,
She dressed them in furs.
And frost is nonsense to them!
Oh, blizzard, blizzard, blizzard,
What were you doing this morning, come on?
I wandered along the streets,
All the fences were whitewashed.
Oh, blizzard, blizzard, blizzard,
Where were you circling during the day, come on?
I tore people's hats off during the day,
She threw snow down her collar...
So that everything around you becomes beautiful,
I mixed the sky with the earth!
Oh, blizzard, blizzard, blizzard,
Where will you be this evening, okay?
What an evening I'll be around,
I'll tell you tomorrow morning!

E. Blaginina
Winter's last darkness,
February is the successor of January.
The river flows, the drifting snow floats,
They flow into snowy seas.
And to me from the rainbow shine
Can't hold back my happy tears.
On the southern slope of the coppice -
Funnels at the roots of birch trees.
And, listening to the birds' melodies of spring,
Parting the withered grass,
The snowdrop will sprout
Through last year's leaves...

Wide or crooked roads are a typical sign of February, primarily in the south and center of Russia, when the snow begins to melt in the sun and freeze again in the evening, making the roads slippery and uneven; places where the road has turned into impassable viscous mud require a detour, the sides are moved apart, so that the roads actually become wider and wider.
February has long been called wedding day or simply wedding. This time was devoted to weddings. In the Pskov Chronicle, under the year 1402, it says: “A tailed star appeared on west side, and rising with the other stars from weddings to Palm Saturday.” Strictly speaking, the period of time designated by the ancient Russian chronicler (“weddings”) did not completely coincide with February, like the wedding celebrations themselves; it began in January (after Epiphany) and continued until Maslenitsa, which, as is known, belongs to to moving holidays and usually falls on different weeks of February.
In the sequence of twelve months of the year, February takes its place. Once upon a time, in Ancient Rus', as in Ancient Rome, he completed the year (at the March New Year), before the reform of Peter I he was listed as sixth, and since 1700 he became second.
For the farmer, it was not so important what kind of month this month was; he attached much more importance to the fact that February is the last winter month, that signs of spring are already visible, albeit subtle, in it: the day is getting longer, the sun is getting a little warmer, thaws are observed more often and southern winds blow, causing even, calm snowfall to be replaced by blizzards, blizzards, blizzards, and blizzards. Naturally, windy weather with the same blizzards and blizzards also happens in other months, but in terms of the number of “blizzard” days, February remains an unattainable leader. The vector of February, directed towards spring, introduces into the characteristics of this month the theme of tension, the struggle between cold and heat, a clash in which winter is still winning, especially at the beginning of the month.
Let us remind you that in February one of the most respected church holidays, relating to the twelfths, is the Presentation of the Lord (February 15/2), understood by the people as the meeting of winter with spring.
All February features, of course, were reflected in proverbs, sayings and signs.
