Huh.  I'm not reading that title right now, but with the Dawn of DC it might be worth the read...

Not like DC has had much of a winter anyway.

I've been alive 3 decades now and the groundhog has never been right, not in my neck of the woods.

Sigh. Look at the calendar. The Spring Equinox begins 21 March, six weeks from now. No matter what, there are six more weeks of Winter. This was an old joke told over pints in pubs. Think about it. Those who do not learn History are doomed to have me tell it them. (And, I didn't use "to" because of the Dative.)

Potomac Phil has a pretty good track record.

Although, I think he's always predicted 6 more months of political gridlock.

My mom's birthday is today. Too bad she died a couple years ago because her shadow/not shadow game was right 90% of the time.

A stuffed groundhog that some guy in DC started having press conferences about once a year.

He's been doing it for about 10 years now:
