The groundhog--Punxatawney (sic?) Phil--did not see his shadow so Spring should come early. I could care less. I want all the snow to melt. I want to not feel sick anymore. Both of those things are out of the hands (paws?) of a damn groundhog.
Also, I've never understood the "six more weeks of winter" vs. "early Spring" thing. Technically, couldn't early Spring be five weeks from now? Lousy groundhogs....
