1. Groundhog Day Surprise
On Groundhog Day 2014, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow and saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. However, just a few days later, a warm spell hit the Northeast, and temperatures soared into the 60s. This led to a lot of confusion and debate about whether or not Phil's prediction was correct.
2. The Sochi Olympics
The 2014 Winter Olympics were held in Sochi, Russia, from February 7 to 23. The games were a major success, with athletes from all over the world competing in a variety of sports. The United States finished first in the medal count, with 28 gold medals.
3. The Polar Vortex
In February 2014, a polar vortex brought record-breaking cold temperatures to the Midwest and Northeast. Temperatures dropped below zero in many areas, and wind chills made it feel even colder. The polar vortex caused widespread school closures and power outages.
February 2014 will be a busy month, but it's also a time for reflection and renewal. Take some time to think about your goals for the year and make a plan for how you're going to achieve them. And don't forget to enjoy the little things, like the first signs of spring.
