How this date is determined
This event uses a fixed Gregorian month and day. Its weekday changes with the year. Meteorological winter begins December 1 in the Northern Hemisphere.
The page keeps the event on today's date when it has arrived. On the next calendar date it selects the following occurrence. The same rule is evaluated in later years instead of copying a previous year's date.

Use the date in a plan
The large number measures calendar midnight boundaries in the selected time zone. It is a date count rather than an exact timer to a party, appointment or office cutoff.
