Oh, this weather!

So tomorrow - Easter Monday - is likely to be a wash-out, or maybe even a white-out.  This has renewed calls for Easter to be made a fixed date towards the end of the month, when the weather is more likely to be fair.  We've discussed this before, and I won't repeat what I said then, but I think we fundamentally have to decide whether we are celebrating a Christian festival - in which case the date is set for us according to Biblical lore, or whether it is to be a secular holiday - in which case we can set it as we will.
