I was browsing the news on the web today and realized it was Ground Hog Day. I was struck by the AP photo of Punxsutawny Phil that memorialized the fact he did see his shadow and thus predicted 6 more weeks of winter. If I was jerked out of a deep sleep and flung undignified up in the air in front of a crowd of 40,000 I'd probably predict 6 months more of winter.
