...no shadows here

February 2, aka "Candlemass"[the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple]

in Scotland, the saying is, "...if a groundhog sees his shadow on Candlemass...
there will be 2 more winters before spring..."



in Punxsutawney, PA, "Phil" sees his shadow 90% of the time on Feb.2...
sending him back into hibernation for 6 more weeks of winter...

here, in Mudville, CA, this Feb. 2, it was rather cloudy with no sun at all...
except for a brief bit around 1 PM, but it didn't cast many shadows...
and we're now "socked-in" again, with rain supposedly on the way again...

this means, if you trust "folklore", that we'll have an early spring this year...

as long as we keep getting snow in the mountains & rain showers at night...
it's all "good" by me...
