As far as I know, both Sun Prairie Jimmy, and Punxatawney Phil (the real groundhog as far as a Pittsburgh girl like me is concerned) predicted six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. But here we are on March 3, a mere four weeks later, and it kind of seems like winter is over. The snow is completely gone, it’s dry and sunny, going down to the 30s at night and 40s and 50s in the daytime. Just like spring.
I’m not going to talk about how disappointing this winter has been overall. Bitter cold in January, and no snow. February was even worse, a roller coaster of snow, then rain, then ice. No, I’d never say that it’s been weird – the snow just couldn’t last, and no good snow to play in.
And, I’m really not ready for spring. I want a few more weeks of wearing fleece and other soft snugly clothes, and eating hearty foods. Plus, I have a lot of pork in the freezer yet.
