Next Thursday is Groundhog Day. This has been one winter even the groundhog can't prolong for too much longer. It has been so nice that even if the "overgrown rodent" does see his shadow, we should still be in good shape.

Here we are in mid-January and we haven't had to overwork our snowblowers this year. But, in my way of thinking, we deserve a warm winter after the past four or five we have had to endure. We've had more than our share of snow and cold over the last few years, we need to average it out someway.
