What Bill Said vs. What Phil Said!

Happy Groundhog Day!

I usually don't celebrate this important day mainly because

the usual prediction is 6 more weeks of winter, and

who in their right mind would celebrate that news???

However, great news from Nebraska's own groundhog

known as Unadilla Bill!

Unadilla is a little town not far from Lincoln.

He did not see his shadow, so yay -- early spring predicted!

Pull out the flip flops friends -- you'll be wearing 'em before you know it!

Of course, it was only 8 degrees this morning - but no matter- 

Bill said early spring!!!

The news is that Punxsutwaney Phil saw his shadow today, 

so sorry Pennsylvania friends - you're stuck

with 6 more weeks of winter!

Plan a warm-weather getaway now!

Have a great weekend and

let's all root for the Philadelphia Eagles!! 

Fly Eagles Fly!

Hello February - Hello Snow Day!

Well, hello February!
You've got a tough act to follow after two weeks of
incredible January weather with temps in the 40s and 50s!
Way to start it off with an ice/snow storm dumping 8+ inches of snow
after some rain and ice first!

February is one my most favorite months as it is such

a nice, short winter month! :)

Also, my oldest son was born in February 

and his daughter, my first grandchild, was also born

in February!

Miss Maddy got her wish - snow and a snow day off school!

Wet, heavy snow with a lovely under-layer of  thick ice
influenced the school administrators
to call for a snow day!
Driving is very hazardous!
Even my big red jeep was sliding!  Aaack!
Wind and bitter wind chills too!

I know that sneaky groundhog will have something to say
about winter and spring!

Still hoping the groundhog predicts an early spring!
Ever the optimist, right! :)
