Sorry Mr. Groundhog- I Take It Back

A week ago I made the mistake of making fun of the Groundhog's ability to forecast the weather. I had a header of something about "silliness."

So tonight I sit at my favorite Caribou Coffee Shop after shivering my way here from home. The temperature this morning was around 22 (F). Now it is -2 (F). Wind is howling at 21 mph with gusts to 35 mph and that is blowing snow into drifts and little whiteouts. The Wind Chill Factor is around -20 (F). More snow is on the way. And we haven't had what southern (yes, southern!) Wisconsin where we used to live has had this winter.

Now I know I should be sitting at home in the warmth. There is no reason to come out here to write and read on the computer. Yes, I am crazy. But I am not allowing the weather to keep from what I enjoy doing.

So, I will therefore stop whining.

For now.

And beg the Groundhog to change his forecast.
