Kisaragi is here
It's February, aka 二月 (Nigatsu) in Japanese. But thanks to the Japanese Consulate, I found out via an email that they sent out about Japanese culture that 衣更着 (Kisaragi) is "the old Japanese name for the month of February" and "is a contracted form of kinu sara gi, which means 'wear still more clothes'." And since there's a horrible thundersnow going on right now, I'd say that we definitely have to keep wearing more clothes :o
