Any guesses...

Sorry, but that's NOT what makes this coming February so unique. I'll give everyone another day to ponder this, but if no one gets it, I'll post the answer in the morning, when it's actually February

every non leap year February has 4 of each day of the week ... if Feb 1st is a Monday, then Feb 28th is a Sunday (and March 1st is a Monday). February will have 4 Mondays, 4 Tuesdays, ...

I am afraid there is nothing special about this February after all.

RE: Something is strange about February 2017...
There being exactly 4, each, of the 7 days of the week does happen every 823 years. It also happens in all the years between, excepting leap years, but it does happen every 823, too. Eventually, any year you start counting from, adding 823 repeatedly, will probably line up with a leap year, though, but I'm betting one could drag that out far enough to be beyond any date I care about.
RE: Something is strange about February 2017...
and actually the claim is wrong ...
"7 Days Repeats 4 Times; Happens Once Every 823 Years"
it happens something like 617 times in 823 years (depending on how the leap years fall)

RE: Something is strange about February 2017...
What is 823?
823 is "Thinking Of You"

I have to admit that I was duped by the email that I got (from an old classmate) and didn't think hard enough about what it was saying before I re-posted it here. Perhaps I was still suffering from being under anesthetic THREE times in four days

Jan 1st can be Monday to Sunday (7).
Leap year or not (2).
7 x 2 = 14.
This is a pretty obvious and trivial factoid that instantly derails the "Moneybags....823 years" nonsense.
