I personally visited Punxsuntawney Phil yesterday, at Gobbler's Knob. (we've had so little snow, and temps in the 30's, so it seemed like THE year to make the trek after joking about it for years.)  HE promises an early spring, (perhaps only for us in the north eastern U.S.A.?  But I did meet folks FROM UTAH who came JUST for the weather report!!!)   It started snowing just before the groundhog made his prediction, and got thicker as the morning progressed.  We waited for the storm to pass before we headed home, then drove 5 hours through snow covered vistas and arrived to a winter wonderland at home.  But it IS already melting, with 50degree temps today and tomorrow.  So I'll believe the "prognosticator of prognosticators" this year, and wish an early and HAPPY SPRING to all!
