Damn That Groundhog

When I saw Punxatawney Phil say six more weeks of winter, I wondered what his stats were. Even a hyper-sensitive weather rodent can't be right all the time. Well, he called this one on the money, because I'm watching snowflakes dust the ground. Yep, good old snow on March 30, more than a week into spring. Not heavy coverage that would shut the Ohio Valley down, but definitely enough to incite panic in a sunny southern state. Our vastly fluctuating weather isn't unheard of - this won't be the first year we've flirted with snow on Opening Day - but it's led to many headaches deciding if this is the weekend to mow the grass or break out the shovels. Whether we can chalk this one up to global climate change or just the nature of the Cincinnati weather beast, I'll be pretty damn happy when the temperature catches up with the calendar.
