Groundhog Day Feb 2, 2022

Groundhog Day

If you"re reading this for the first time, Happy Groundhog Day! And if you"re reading this for the hundredth or thousandth time, we wish you luck in breaking out of your infinite time loop. Then you can join the rest of us as we either brace for six more weeks of winter or sigh with relief that fair weather"s on the way—depending, of course, on the shadow of a certain burrowing rodent.
