A common year is 365 days, one day more than 52 weeks. So February 17 moves on one weekday each year: Tuesday in 2026, Wednesday in 2027. The jump is two days when February 29 comes in between, so February 17, 2029 is a Saturday, two on from 2028's Thursday. Between 1901 and 2099, the whole pattern repeats every 28 years.
