That didn't stop that overgrown rat in Punxsutawney, Pa. from spotting his freakin' shadow this morning, however, damn him!
Probably just hungover from last night's celebrations.The world's most famous groundhog saw his shadow Monday morning, predicting this already long winter will last for six more weeks.
Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn in front of an estimated 13,000 witnesses, many dressed in black-and-gold to celebrate the Pittsburgh Steelers' Super Bowl victory the night before.
Meanwhile the radio forecast says about 1 inch today, 1 inch tonight and they just say "snow" for tomorrow.
Even the Dark-eyed Juncos (a.k.a. "Snow Birds") have apparently tired of this snow cycle we've been having. Their numbers have thinned as those of the Pine Siskins (down from the aboreal forests for the season) have grown.

As always, we suspect that predicting more winter, on Feb. 2nd, is a safe bet.
We had bright sun yesterday, but only 11 degrees. Our wind chill this morning is 11 below. It seems you and we are doomed to suffer together.
