Welcome Back, Winter

Do a few warm days make the snap back to normal winter weather harder?

Well, it couldn't last forever.

After two days of wonderful, warm and—okay, I actually had a two-day long headache during it—mostly unseasonable weather, we're back to February. As I'm writing this, it's cold, dreary, wet and gray. In other words, normal February weather.

If you're superstitious, or just willing to ignore that six weeks until Spring and six weeks left in Winter are the same thing, you could blame the groundhog. But, then you have to ask—which groundhog do you consult? Punxsutawney Phil? Milltown Mel? Or, as we've heard from , the more local Neshanic Station Fred (who did see his shadow earlier this month)!
