Groundhog's Day

Today is Groundhog's Day. This year it does not seem as exciting. Our Winter has been a very mild one. I do not remember, when the last year was, that January temperatures reached over 50 degrees. Last year, we all waited to see what the Groundhog would say. Would it be an early Spring or would we have to suffer through more snow storms? We had been trapped in our homes, surrounded by 8 foot walls of snow, for two months. I remember hoping that Spring would arrive soon and melt away the icy nuisance. This year, so far, we have gotten off easy. We do not have to wish for an early Spring, since Winter was so pleasant. I guess even a Groundhog's job could be in jeopardy. I hope I do not see Punxatauny Phil on the unemployment line.
