Groundhog Tidings of Joy

Break out the sun block and the swimsuits - Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow. I repeat, that's a big negatory on the shadow.

Which means warmer weather is just around the corner for the northern hemisphere.

With an ice storm this morning creating downright hazardous conditions for groundhog watching, I venture to say old Phil would never even have left his warm and cozy burrow if he hadn't been dragged into the open.

Which doesn't say a whole lot for the common sense of the people who gathered around the burrow while freezing rain fell from the sky.

Though I guess we need to give credit where credit is due.  Without those dedicated groundhog watchers, we wouldn't know that relief from this abysmal weather is in sight.

Now what did I do with those flip-flops?
