Curiously, the celebration of Easter does not occur on a fixed day or week, but varies with the phases of the moon. As explained at the Snopes Urban Legends Reference Page, the maximum range of dates is from March 22 to April 25. This year Easter is on March 23; the last time it was this early was in 1913, and it won't be this early again until the year 2160.
So this year the children in Madison will be hunting Easter eggs in 6 inches of new snow (but more about that later...)
