The True Harbinger of Spring
This pseudo pagan mumbo jumbo with the Pennsylvanian marmot on the first cross quarter day of the year is bunk (even though it made a pretty good movie). How can the weather on a single day, February 2, in a single location, be evidence of what the weather will be over the next 40 or so days, nation, or even world, wide? The real way to tell if Spring is on the way is color change in the wands of weeping willow trees. If they're going yellow, Spring is nigh.
