If the groundhog sees his shadow on Feb. 2, we can hardly complain, given that it has been so warm the forsythia was blooming in December and mosquitoes were seen flying around in early January. It wasn’t until last week that the mercury dropped to the single digits and we finally had snow that stuck. If we do end up having six more weeks of winter, it might actually have its benefits—at least from a nature lover’s point of view.
