Anyone find it odd that Lucky Weekend is a week early this year?

Seeing that St Patty's is on a Saturday...maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't it make sense to move lucky weekend to next week?

Agreed.
This year gw festivities seem to diverge quite a bit from the real ones...

hmm, I'm not really good in counting dates, but maybe they automated some events but forgot to account for leap years (if this wasn't a leap year patricksday would be on next friday instead of next saturday and this weekeend would be the right one for lucky weekend).

seems they have yet to get any of them correct this year...so I would expect more of the same ....
