"CNN :
Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog weather watcher, was pulled from his warm burrow this morning and saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.


Each February 2, on Groundhog Day, the members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club make the pilgrimage to Gobbler’s Knob — Phil’s official home. Legend has it, if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are on the way. If he doesn’t, an early spring arrives.


In reality, winter will end on the spring equinox, known also as the vernal equinox, on March 20 at 5:01 a.m. ET, regardless of Sunday’s prediction. But weather conditions don’t always follow the timetable — and neither does Phil."
 
We got about 6" of snow yesterday and more to come tonight! Yay! I expect to hear snowmobiles crossing our road frontage any minute now. Snow is good for our winter economy. Restaurants, taverns, hotels, resorts, etc. all benefit from a deep snowpack.

I wish we only had 6 weeks of winter left.
