So yesterday was groundhog day…something I would have never noticed if it weren’t for my kids and the excitement in school for this day. There were discussions about it and math problem-puzzles that revealed Punxsutawney Phil’s name as the answer. And apparently, the little booger saw his shadow yesterday, which means six more weeks of winter…
But we haven’t even had winter yet! This weather has been absolutely insane! For the past week alone we have had a high of 50 degrees every day, with two days getting into the 60s! Joshie even wore shorts to school a couple of days! We have only had one or two snowfalls that left anything, and even that was nothing. I can’t believe it’s February 3rd and the high today is a sunny 50 degrees.
This is not to say that we’ve had perfect weather by any means…last fall and this winter so far have been so full of rain, which on those chilly days, is absolutely miserable! And it wouldn’t be Central Ohio without grey skies most of the time :(
I asked John yesterday “wouldn’t it be great to live somewhere where winter was like this all the time?” He blows me off because I am always bugging him about moving somewhere warm…or better yet…hot :) But even if we have a horrible second half of February and March (because the weather is still forecasted to be decent for the next week), I won’t mind it too much because we are over the winter hump! There is light at the end of this long, cold, grey tunnel :)

Well I think we have your weather, and you have ours. May we please have ours back?? That ground hog was no doubt thinking , oh yeah let's have 6 more weeks of winter in the northwest for a change, Dang lil critter!!!!
Our Winter has been insane, too. In semi-Upstate NY where I am...we're use to snow, snow, cold temps, more snow, colder temps and some snow and ice. This year? High 40's, low 50's. Any "storm" we get brings an inch or two of snow and 90% of the time, it's gone by that afternoon/evening.
We, too, have been dealing with rain and wind, gray skies and oh...huh...look at that...it's windy AND rainy! ;) Weird. Very weird.
