Six more weeks

Sun Prairie (outside Madison) for some reason claims to be the Groundhog Capital of the World. Really? The whole world?

Anyway, their groundhog -- Jimmy -- apparently saw his shadow today, dooming those of us here in the Badger State to six more weeks of winter.

So far the winter has been cold, December had record-breaking snows, January was pretty dry and February has just begun. It doesn't seem all that bad, but then after last year, I guess it wouldn't. I must just be getting used to it.

Anyway, thanks a lot, Jimmy!
