Did Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?

He sure did!! 6 more weeks of winter...yikes.

"According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.
Since 1887, Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, hasn't seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club
."

That's one old Groundhog Ü.

Thought for Today: "Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great." — Bussy-Rabutin, French soldier and writer (1618-1693).

Yay!! The longer it takes to get to 100 degrees!! But I should know that won't make a difference because it will just jump from 60 to 90 in a week so it won't matter;)
