One of 2022's palindromes falls today – Tuesday, Feb. 22 – and is unofficially known as "Twosday." According to the National Weather Service this won't happen again until 2422 – 400 years from now.
"Wait, what," you ask?
Written out numerically the date is 2-22-22, which reads the same forward and backward. It's also rare because all of the numbers are the same.
And best of all, people can celebrate this numerological oddity everywhere in the world, regardless if the country uses the day-month-year or year-month-day format.
To take it a step further, the preeminent palindrome happened at 2:22 a.m. and will again at 2 p.m. today.
In Numerology – which is a belief and not a science, but still harmless and fun – the number 2 means partnership, teamwork and pulling together. So let's make Twosday a day about that too, Milwaukee!
