Maybe it was a typo and they meant to say April 23 instead of March 23?

there will be a lunar eclipse on that night, march 23, visible in Australia, North America, so if you still drink secretly to the brotherhood, communion, leave the last glass to raise to the dimming of the moon. -

Maybe the WTS is using "The Calendar of Jehovah" to calculate the memorial date.

It appears they want to line up the date with the usual Easter holiday which lands on Sunday March 27, 2016. -

or more precisely have the "meal" coincide with an eclipse, and have the true prophetic accuracy of science rub off on wt dating. -

This has happened before.
I think it is due to the extra month that the Jews add every few years.
A local supermarket discounts all Jewish food products after Passover. A few years ago they began their discounts a month too early, just after Easter. Needless to say the local population didn't complain....

I searched for a Jewish calendar and Nissan 14 is supposed to be on April 22.

They always had the wrong date but it was usually a day or two out. Because, y'know, some old guy in Pennsylvania who thought the length of a pyramid told him when the world would end and forgot there was no "year zero" knew more about the Jewish calendar than Jewish people do.
