YES!!!!

In meteorological terms, though, it is only 8 more days until Spring, since meteorological spring starts on March 1.

But, Spring started nearly 3 weeks ago, Feb 2! Match 21, Spring Equinox, is Mid-Spring.

For the ancient Celts, Cross-Quarter days signaled the beginning if a season! For example, what is now Groundhog Day (Candlemas) would be considered the start of spring! Together, the Quarter Days and Cross-Quarter Days made an eight-part year that reflected the natural procession of the seasons.

That explains why June 21 is Mid Summers Day; and December 21 is Mid Winters Day.
