How this count works, and questions

Questions about this countdown
Does the count include today?
No. The count leaves out today and includes Mardi Gras itself. The day before, it shows 1 day. On Mardi Gras, it shows 0 days.
Which time zone does the count use?
Your device's time zone, named on the Today line at the top of the page. Choose another time zone in the form to count to midnight there instead.
Why might another countdown show a different number?
Some countdowns also count today, or count full 24-hour periods. This page counts calendar dates. The clock under the answer shows the exact time left until midnight at the start of Mardi Gras.
Is Mardi Gras a public holiday in the US?
No. Mardi Gras is an observance. It is not one of the legal public holidays listed in federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103), so it is not a federal day off. States, schools and employers set their own schedules.
