National Holiday - Tomorrow

Pay attention:  All eyes on Western Pennsyvania tomorrow, Feb 2, 2007.  Panic, PA,? No. Desire, Harmony, Stump Creek, no. Ugly Run creek? No.

Punxsutawny.  The groundhog comes out of his hibernation.  (Is dragged out, actually.) According to traditon, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.  If he does not, presumably there will be mild weather until Spring.

This grand event  (<<Link) will be webcast at SEVEN AM, (EST). The sun doesn't come up until 7:15, so they will be dragging poor Phil, the groundhog, out of his burrow before dawn.  That is four AM in California...I may miss the event, alas.

I love Groundhog Day.  I will join you later.

We just began winter here in S. Illinois with all the warm weather.   The first snow of 2006/2007 fell last night (about 2 inchs) with several inches more tonight predicted.   Tuesday morning to be near 5 degrees and warming into the teens.   mark
