According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early.Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous groundhog, indeed saw his shadow Monday morning, predicting that this already long winter will last for six more weeks. The annual ritual takes place on Gobbler's Knob, a tiny hill in Punxsutawney, a borough of about 6,100 residents some 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Cursed.

yuck! Paul wants to watch that movie tonight. I am boycotting it!
You need to put together a "what would Kristen do if she and her family came to Nashville for the weekend" plan. Sell me on it. I really do want to go on vacation somewhere other than Utah while I love out here...
live, not love
I LOVE that movie...6 extra weeks of winter: not so much :)
UGHHHHH Really. I need a moment to whine.
And I was so looking forward to Spring.
