6 more weeks of winter

punxsutawney phil saw his shadow so per folkloric beliefs we are bound for 6 more weeks of winter. of course, from a literal standpoint we are bound for 6 more weeks of winter considering spring will begin then. if you had asked me a little over a week ago, i would have said i was saddened by the thought of more winter especially contemplating it with how unvirginialike this cold has been. now that we've had a bit of snow and the forecasters are calling for the possibility of more tomorrow, all i can think is bring on more of the white stuff.
