What is the earliest date Ash Wednesday can possibly occur?

As far as I can tell, calculating from the earliest day of Easter Sunday (March 22, using the Gregorian calendar), the earliest date Ash Wednesday can possibly occur would be February 4.

That is the correct answer. It happens very rarely--less than once a century.
