Why does Pesach come so early this year?

[theflipflop]

This year, 5773, Pesach begins on the night of March 25, 2013. Pesach has not occurred so early in the Gregorian calendar since 5659 when Pesach began on the night of March 25, 1899 - 114 years ago! Why is this so uncommon and why does it happen this year?

Of course, this just gets me thinking. I live in a warm climate. Early Pesach means early Succos (Sept 19th this year). And early Succos for me means a hot Succos, with mosquitos! Ugh!

We could use a warm Sukkot!!!
We were bArely able to eat in the Sukkah the last 2 days it was windy, rainy, and cold.

Here you can guarantee when Sukkot starts, the rain starts.
