Ground Hog Day 📍

That day when we hope that winter comes to an early end, and then look forward for another 2-3 months of wintery weather.

For a while I thought about going to Punxsutawney for Ground Hog Day 🐻

But the truth is Ground Hog Day is in the middle of winter – literally – and kind of cold. There isn’t a lot of camping areas nearby so there is a good chance that I’d have to stay in a hotel and I hate staying indoors when I travel. It’s such an early morning, high on a steep hill that this morning was probably quite icy with the snow that came down. So I’m kind of glad I just watched the celebration on my phone, even though it would have been a perfect day to go down there, being a Sunday morning.

Ground Hog Day

Watching the live feed of Ground Hog Day, I am convinced that Punxsutawney Phil was actively encouraged to choose the Shadow scroll by the Ground Hog Club. Clearly it was cloudy and no shadow today.

As Americans, we should rise up against such a stolen prediction. I sure hope President Biden asks the US Supreme Court to review the actions of Punxsutawney Phil and overturn the results of his prediction for spring in six weeks. Americans deserve a fair prediction of how many weeks of winter remain.
