Phil weighs in

"Hear Ye Hear Ye,
On Gobbler's Knob this glorious Groundhog Day,
Feb. 2, 2009,
Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators ...
proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time,
and a bright sky above me,
showed my shadow beside me,
so six more weeks of winter it will be."

(and so far it looks like Phil's compatriots in weather forecasting are agreeing with his assessment.)
(UPDATE: Nope, it looks like the western New York Dunkirk Dave did NOT see his shadow. Dare we say that we think it's wishful thinking on Dave's part?)

But we all would have guessed that ourselves, wouldn't we?

The good news here is that it's another melting day! Heading over 40 again!

At 9am, it is 28 degrees and rising
89% humidity and steady (and dripping)
29.85 inches of humidity and steady
Fire danger is NONE
