Hello and Happy Ground Hog Day!!! For those of you in the USA, you are aware of the annual observance of Mr. Groundhog "Punxsutawney Phil", and his prediction for the coming of an early Spring versus 6 more weeks of Winter! Folklore has it that if Phil comes out of his burrow on a cloudy day, he emerges out for a walk, and then an early Spring is predicted. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see his shadow, and head back inside his burrow, thus predicting 6 more weeks of Old Man Winter. I know, I know....it is kind of silly, but since I live in northwestern PA, it is a kind of a semi-big deal in "our neck of the woods."
I actually traveled to see this big tradition carried out a few years ago with a van load of girlfriends, and we made a weekend of it in the cute little town of Punxsutawney, PA. The tradition happens no matter how cold or how bad the weather is, and people come from all over the USA, and probably places far,far away to get a glimpse of Phil doing his annual duty. The town of Punxsutawney has the whole process down to a science and they bus all of the observers up to Gobbler's Knob, where everyone proceeds to stand around and stay warm with hot chocolate and lots of heavy outerwear and boots that withstand sub zero temps!
Anyhow, I watched it on the national news this morning. And it is much easier to see on TV than on Gobbler's Knob. They have the mayor and borough council people all dressed in top hats and fine suits. One of these men pulls Phil out of his cage, and then they exchange some Groundhog talk.....and low and behold, Groundhog Phil makes a decision. It is then proclaimed by another dude, in a tall top hat what Phil decided. There is no burrow, no shadows, no running away of Phil, and certainly no sun. It is done right at sunrise.....so there is no way Phil will ever see his shadow. And from my many years of living in this area, we rarely have an early Spring. And almost always have 6 more weeks of winter. And that is what Phil predicted today!
So, you are probably wondering what is my skin lesson this week? I will remind you to protect your skin in cold, windy weather since going up on Gobbler's Knob or any winter sports can be tough on your exposed areas of the face, lips, and hands.
