When I was a kid, I was very convinced that the whole “Punxsutawney Phil” thing was very important. That groundhog knew things.
Now, of course, I realize it’s a little silly to get your weather forecast from a rodent, but there’s still a part of me that wants to rely on Phil’s prognostication.
And, since he saw his shadow this morning, that part of me wants to get ready for another 6 weeks of cold weather.
