Dear Community,
I saw a groundhog today.
It was frozen solid. No shadow, only snow flurries. What does that mean?
If I shine a spotlight on it and thaw it out with a hair dryer, will that change the forecast?

For all you concerned Pagans, I did not put a groundhog in my freezer for this occasion. I know my sense of humor leaves you baffled sometimes, but I really am nice to animals as long as they’re cute and fuzzy.
If you want more information about any of these events or if you have forgotten how to get a stick-shift VW into reverse, feel free to give me a call so I can either be of assistance, refer you to a professional, or at least get a good chuckle out of your predicament.
Hey, I’m starting a digital shrine to Mini-Coopers. If you have a good photo of one of those cute little buggers, don’t be stingy with it, eh?
Something about February and funny cars… I don’t get it either.
Happy Thawing Moon Blessings (here’s hoping)!
