[Avodah] Stopping Saying Mashiv Haruach

[Liron Kopinsky]

In Israel, we start saying Mashiv Haruach 2 weeks after Shmini Atzeret to
give the people who made Aliya laRegel an opportunity to return to their
homes.

Why don't we stop saying Mashiv Haruach 2 weeks before Pesach for the same
reason?

My presumption is that it has something to do with the need for a public
hachraza on both Shmini Atzeret and Pesach to notify people that the change
is happening (either now or in 2 weeks) and that can't work retroactively
from Pesach to Rosh Chodesh Nissan.

Kol Tuv,
