If the Chinese new year really does start February 16, I shall be delighted, as that's my birthday & I had planned to do some celebrating this year, even though it's not a round number remarkable year. Having a mid-February birthday always means a challenge to be merry in the midst of the frozen heights and lake-effect snow.
