Great news from the animal world, two resident groundhogs have made their prognostications. Punxsutawney Phil in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, did not see his shadow, nor did more local Woodstock Willie, about 17 miles from here in Spring Grove, Illinois.
Winter is a season to hurry up and get through once we get past Christmas and New Year's.
This one hasn't been too bad so far. A whole lot better than five years ago when we had the Groundhog Day Blizzard, one of the worst I ever experienced. We have some snow nut friends who were caught yesterday in the blizzard that hit Utah and points east. Fortunately, they were able to get to a truck stop in their RV. You love the snow, pay the price.
We did have a sneak 11-inch November snow and an extremely heavy and wet rain/snow event that deposited anywhere from 4 inches to as much as 12 where it drifts across my driveway the Monday after Christmas. I was finally able to get the Christmas decorations sitting on the ground out of the ice on Sunday.
I'll be watching some of the 24-hours of "Groundhog Day" movie marathon on Comedy Central today.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
