Thanks a lot Punxsutawney Phil!  We have a winter storm warning in
effect for my area with as much as 30cm (~12 inches) of snow expected
to fall by tomorrow evening.
Our local groundhog (Wiarton Willie) predicted an early spring, but
clearly he's lying through his buck teeth!  ;)
Our local Berkeley 'ghog, Stoney Stevie, got so baked last night he never
even made it outside his little burrow. There was a last-minute attempt to dress up a stray cat in a top-hat and monocle that ended with deep
scratches for the handlers that required medical attention. Berkeley
residents concluded that we would again, indeed, have another few weeks
of ~60 F "winter" weather, and also -- several complaints were logged
with BPD around animal cruelty; protesting goverment-sponsored
superstitions; alarm around generational entitlement; class strggle;
workers' rights; and a 6 hour publi debate around the complete lack of diversity/representation of other indiginous weather-forecasting animals,
such as the San Francisco Garter Snake. Said one Berkeley resident:
"but seriously, what's that groundhog smoking? And can I get some?"
PS: I live in Berkeley, CA USA.
