For those of us who may not be enjoying our Canadian winter – good news! We are now past the halfway point!
Thursday, February 3 marked the halfway point of winter – midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox on March 20.
And if we look ahead even further, summer officially begins on Tuesday, June 21.
So, for everyone that loves winter, get out there and enjoy the crisp air and the snow-filled mountains. But for those of us that can’t wait for spring, the tulips will soon be on their way!
And if you rely on the groundhog to make your spring plans, the results were mixed.
A little on its history from The Weather Network: “Groundhog Day is a popular tradition celebrated in North America on February 2. According to folklore, if the groundhog sees its shadow, it will be scared and return to its burrow. That translates to a forecast of six more weeks of winter on the way. Under cloudy skies, the groundhog stays out to visit, suggesting we'll see an early spring.”
In any event, have a fabulous Friday and a great weekend! Sunny days are ahead.
