Groundhog Day

If Mr. Groundhog did indeed see his shadow on Groundhog Day, we are to expect six more weeks of winter. Say it ain’t so.

According to a more reliable source, The Almanac, we are scheduled to get rain and snow this week, then sunny and warm. Yeh! Last year about this time, we were still recovering from Snowpocalypse, 2014.

Every 11 years we have one of those, so the next ice jam will not occur until 2026. Get your bread and milk now.

It’s the ‘tween season when every sport is required to involve some sort of round object, basketball, golf, hockey, tennis and curling. Super Bowl XLIX is being analyzed and reanalyzed by all the analyzers. Super Bowl 50 tickets are now on sale, start saving your nickels and dimes.

February is by far the hardest month to pronounce. In the South, February comes out Feb-yoo-ary.

Their ears also bristle when they hear Specific Ocean and ChiCARgo.

Stay warm and dry and practice those RRRRRRRRR’s.
