Groundhog Day is a traditional festival celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. It is a cross-quarter day, midway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.
In traditional weather lore, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If the groundhog sees its shadow because the weather is bright and clear, it will be frightened and run back into its hole, and the winter will continue for six more weeks. [from Wikipedia]
Are you looking forward to a change in season or are you enjoying it as it is? Let's talk about the weather! The weather here goes up and down but mainly in the 30's now. We had one day of snow so far. We stay in the house because it is cold so I am looking forward to the spring warmer weather. I just hate getting the kids all dressed up in hats, gloves, coats just to go somewhere for a short period of time, like when it snows. It takes me about 45 minutes to get them dressed and ready to go outside for 15 minutes. Is it worth it. No. So I stay inside and get cabin fever. Can't wait till spring.

The worst part is that when you get the kids all dressed, one of them decides they have to go to the bathroom! I always hated that!
LOL. Around these parts, spring=hurricanes. I think I prefer winter.
