Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. When I was growing up the folks where I lived paid attention to the weather on Feb 2. I can’t remember a winter back then that Feb 2nd did not reflect how the rest of the winter went.

In the last 10-15 years, I’ve found that it has been somewhat less reliable. (Bear in mind, that it is unusual for us to not have snow at the end of March and that the “end of winter” is relative.) Last year was a bit of an exception in that it was sunny and we did have a long way to go before the snow was gone. Tomorrow it is supposed to be warm and mixed sun and cloud.And that’s how I expect the remainder of winter to pan out. We may still have winter conditions with snow, etc., but I think the harsh part of winter is over for this year.

Let’s hope the groundhogs agree.
