This day over the last 16 years of the Pasty Cam

We stand in awe, waiting, in still veneration, we will be transported through time and space. We realizes it is not out of reach...GROUNDHOG DAY

Good morning, Gormfrog! Good morning, Yoopers!

We are at our high of 18 right now. We will drop to -20 before the day is over. Ya just gotta love this winter!

Nice set!
One year ago today, SE-MI hit a record high temp of 61 degrees. That groundhog better have some good news :-)

I second that, Alex!
Love the 'snow bunny'!:>

Hi. Alex and Shirley, accuweather.com says that it doesn't matter what the groundhog says - they are predicting the cold and snow to continue at least into late March for the Great Lakes area, at least, regardless of what Phil says, sigh. I am dreaming of spring flowers, leaves on trees, and warmer weather.

Found this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia:
"First documented American referernce to groundhog day wes found in a diary kept by James Morris...dated Feb. 4, 1841" Where he referred to it as "Candlemas day", celebrated on Feb. 2nd by the German people in PA.
So I guess that's why Punxsutawney Phil lives in PA.

'reference' yet.:(

Love the chickadees and the bridge!
