The Groundhog was WRONG!!!!!!

The Groundhog was WRONG!!!!! 

Yup the title pretty much says it all, by "all" i mean my sentiments towards this recent snowfall. The long time belief has been that when the groundhogs come out of their hiberation hole on Feb 2 and see their shadow that means that spring will come soon or that there won't be 6 extra weeks of winter. Well according to sources the groundhog did see its shadow...and as is easily visible by the title he was wrong!!! Also its aldready officially spring...its almost as if "old man winter" waited...and waited...and waited for it to be spring and then...BAM SNOWFALL!!! Nothing against winter or anything...i love snow and winter is quite nice (except for slush...i hate slush!) but really i mean whats the point of making the longest season even longer??? Now i apologise if my information about the groundhog seeing its shadow is incorrect but the feeling is still there...as the radio station worded it..."its winter vs. spring and so far winters winning" (sorry this quote may not be verbatim but you get the idea). This morning was ridiculous!! According to the radio there was a particularily icy patch somewhere on the highway and cars kept spinning out, also about 30-40 cars where trapped in a ditch!! Tow trucks had to be called. Apparently "calls about crashes seemed to be coming every minute!" although not all were serious ones some just crashed into poles or something. Still a crash is a crash. I can't help but think that 2011 is coming out to be one crazy year. What with the crisis in Japan with the earthquake, tsunami and now the nuclear problem at the fukushima plant i feel extremely overwhelmed...i know extra weeks of winter are nowhere as dramatic or dangerous as the happenings in Japan but still i am now double overwhelmed!! I just hope it will really be spring soon i am sooooooo ready to put away my snow boots and parka!!
