Groundhog day
So Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Another 6 weeks of winter. I know that all you northeasterners are just shaking in your boots about the thought of another six weeks of 40 degree weather.
When trying to explain Groundhog Day to Czechs, I initially got a "wtf?" response. One person even said, "You're from a strange country." But upon explaining the day more, they said, "Oh yea, we have that here too... minus the groundhog." Basically, if it's sunny on February 2nd here, it means 6 more weeks of winter. Which is all that Punxsutawney Phil is reporting, if it's sunny that day or not.
So here's hoping that your February the third really is February the third, and that wherever you are, you get a taste of winter, but aren't confined by it.
Na Zdrave!
