Smeltpunt 6: 1st March!

lUisa

If one begins each year on March 1, then each date will have the same day number in this year, regardless of whether it is a leap year or not (e.g. December 25 is always day 300). This is due to the fact that the Gregorian and Julian calendars are based on the old Roman Calendar, which had March 1 as the first day of the year.

In Denmark, spring begins on March 1, while in Australia autumn begins on March 1. Meterological spring in the Northern Hemisphere, also begins on March 1, as meterological autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, also begins on March 1.
