I'm an astronomer, and I teach at a Catholic college (though I'm not religious myself).
I had absolutely no idea how complicated the date of Easter is. Wow.
Eggs now in different baskets.@sundogplanets Perhaps more bizarre is that in Norway the deadline to take studded tyres off your car is the week after Easter.
Which is completely daft as the dates that Easter can fall on is in a range of a month.
The weather here can vary enormously between late March and late April.
We just had two nights where snow fell. It would make a lot more sense to just pick a date that reflects the change in the weather such as the 15th of April for the deadline.
