I noticed that in 1921 february had 30 days. 2 days times 160 years minus 40 leap years = 280 day shift. What are the \"months\" in the model?

For uniformity all months are 30 days * 12 = 360 days. It\'s more an average than a day by day exacting. They are just trying to see how the different scenarios play out.
