I'm ready for spring, are you?

Thank you old man winter, for flexing your muscles and giving us a good 'old fashion arctic wonderland for the past several months.  But I'm tired of it.  I think I speak for many when it comes time to bid winter adieu and welcome spring with open arms. 

It is, after all, the last week of March and we are expecting yet another snow storm. This at the heels of a week of January-like bitter cold highlighted by a lovely blustery weekend where the wind-chill dipped into the 20's.

I read over the weekend about an Ohio prosecutor officially indicting the over-hyped Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania groundhog who earlier in February (Feb. 2 to be exact) predicted an early spring. 
That may be a little much. It is an animal after all. Plus, with something like 450 cameras and news stations shedding light on the little guy's burrow, how could he NOT see his shadow. 

As ridiculous as it may be, you can see the point. It's been a little cold and it's time to at least feel a little warmth.  Maybe not in the 70's, as it was a year ago this month, but just a little sunshine without having to scrape ice off my windshield in the morning. 

Global warming, right?
