The forecast has been made. It will be an early spring as Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow and did not see his shadow. The media outlets, however, did not ask if any of the meterologists and climatologists at the National Weather Service saw their shadow.
Will it be another six weeks of winter …

… or an early spring?

We’ll have to wait and see.
The cats, though, do not make weather forecasts. They have other things to do …

Lovely photos.
Thanks, Seth.
I think we need to get that groundhog to define his terms. Spring? Corner? Oops, gotta get back outside and carry water to the ducks through the snow…
