Ancient Rome did not bother with Jan or Feb and they had a point. 

Ireland only got months when invaded by the Roman church. From after about 450AD it inherited an ailmbeith with nineteen characters from the Greco-Roman alpha-beta along with Latin for writing. 

Ancient Ireland did not bother with months or with writing and dealt with climate rather than weather. 

I do not know whether Galanthus bloomed in perfidious Albion BC but they do now and my very own snowdrops are already miserably above ground since the New Year.

EAST ANGLIA WANDERINGS
I took a train from Peterborough to Cambridge today via March and Ely.  The line fell apart behind me during the day but I knew nothing til I got back to Cambridge station to catch the 16.00 to Peterborough.  After [almost] an hour's wait in a warm train going nowhere I was advised to "get on the next Hitchin train and transfer there to a train for Peterborough".

Hoofing down to correct platform  I found said train bound for Kings Cross.  Don't even ask what counties I passed through in the dark but stations such as Meldreth, Royston, Letchworth, St.Neots and Huntington featured before I turned up in scabtown after 7pm at which time they switch off most of the buses causing me to arrive eat my hovel at 8pm from a 4pm start on a platform in Cambridge.
