Even though February was the shortest month of the year, sometimes it seemed like the longest.
Meaning📌🌨️: Expresses that February, despite being the shortest month, can subjectively feel ‘endless’ due to cold, grey weather and short days. It is about perceived time, not a weather forecast or natural science. Fits with winter lethargy: less light, fewer outdoor activities, and therefore a longer perceived passage of time. Origin 🧭:Original version: ‘Even though February was the shortest month of the year, sometimes it seemed like the longest.’ Often attributed to J.D. Robb in the In Death series; often specifically linked to the book ‘Brotherhood in Death’ (2016). It spread mainly via quote sites and social media. Author ✍️:J.D. Robb is the crime/futuristic pseudonym of Nora Roberts. Attribution: J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts), In Death series (often ‘Brotherhood in Death’, 2016). Is it a ‘weather proverb’? 🌦️ Strictly speaking: no. Weather proverbs are traditional, short, and intended as folk wisdom or weather forecasts. This quote is literary and refers to the perceived length of February, not to predicting the weather.
