Today in Gobblers Knob of Punxsutawney, PA its resident weather prognosticator and most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Somehow that seems on brand with this year so far. So I guess we gotta keep bundled up and be ready for more cold weather ahead. Thanks a lot, Phil.
Later today, we will most certainly watch the classic movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s only right to do so.
We are having our first snow of 2025. It’s predicted to be about 3 or so inches. Where I live we are not equipped for big time winter events although we have had a couple. It’s pretty to look at but it’s not always easy to get around in. Safe and cozy is the rule of the day except I’m working from home today.
According to Wikipedia, the winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth’s poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. It’s also a day to welcome the beginning of winter. Stay warm everyone!
Friends, It’s 6 months until Christmas. May this message give you some relief from the heat and joyous tidings. If you need a Christmas fix there is always Christmas in July that is celebrated by some just for the fun and festive vibes.
I found this on Facebook and thought it funny. I have seen videos of people experimenting with water to see if it freezes in mid-air, so this has the same feeling. It has been icy and cold where I live, but we are thawing out a little. I hope you are staying warm and comfortable wherever this post finds you.
Today is Winter Solstice which is the shortest day of the year. There will be festivals, singing, dancing, and other fun stuff. Days will be getting longer from here on out. Let’s have a great winter.
