Groundhog Day
It’s Groundhog Day and some of the militant marmots object to being disturbed.
The CBC offers the most complete coverage and tell us that Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia and Punxsutawney Phil from Pennsylvania think winter is over as the latest winter storm is getting ready to dump snow in the center of the US. Winnipeg Willow got fed up with the process and died in January to avoid being annoyed.
FYI: this is approximately the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. It is called Imbolc among the Celts, which is why people are interested.
