Fat Tuesday

Tuesday, February 13, 2024: “Every year, Mardi Gras falls the day before Ash Wednesday. And this timing is no coincidence. Ash Wednesday marks the official beginning of Lent, a period of prayer, fasting, and repentance that Catholics and some other Christians observe before Easter. While today, Catholics commonly abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, in the past, Lenten fasting was far more strict.

“Mardi Gras” is French for Fat Tuesday. The holiday is also known as Shrove Tuesday (from an Old English word meaning to confess) or Pancake Day. Historically, people would spend Fat Tuesday (and sometimes the weeks leading up to it) indulging in the foods (and behaviors) they would abstain from during Lent.”

Also, today is Fastnacht Day meaning “fast” and “night” in German where fastnachts are served as a precursor to the start of the Lenten season. Fastnachts are heavy, yeast-raised potato donuts featured prominently in Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. Also, similarly, it’s Pączki Day. Pączki is the specialty fried dough filled with jams or custard served on the last day to indulge in foods before the traditional 40-day period of fasting before Easter.

The weather today will be snow, with a slight chance of rain in the morning, and then a chance of snow in the afternoon. Precipitation may be heavy at times in the morning. Total snow accumulation is of 4 to 8 inches. Breezy, with highs in the lower 30s and a low of 21. Northwest winds 20 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph. The chance of precipitation is near 100%.
