It looks like for the foreseeable future after today, nearly every day will be above freezing, with temperatures in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Not too bad for people who don’t like winter, and should do a job on the snow. It hasn’t been a real snowy winter, but we still have about three months when we could walloped with snow, so I don’t think we can declare winter over yet.

Ground Hog Day! 🐻
This year Ground Hog Day is on a Sunday. I thought about going down to Punxsutawney but it’s a pretty early morning in the winter and the roads are bound to be icy. Camping areas are closed not there is a lot nearby because Punxsutawney is pretty remote farm and coal country. I do remember going down Pennsylvania 36 last autumn – a pretty remote road north of Punxsutawney but with many scars from a century and a half of mining coal. I am sure though it’s pretty wild country with great country folk, strong accents lots of hunting, trapping and farming going on.
You can complain about the forecast or you can remember the lyrics of Ecclesiastics 3 that Pete Seeger (and that “young rock and roller”) made famous
