Quote from YLE, 'Leap years are needed to keep the calendar in alignment with the earth's revolutions around the sun, which take 365 and one-quarter days. Leap day is also added to keep the calendar in line with the seasons.'
In Finland, there is a peculiar custom where in the event a man turn down the woman's proposal on this day, the custom mandates him to buy a piece of cloth for his suitor to sew a skirt. Interesting!
