Happy Groundhog Day

Bad news for those of you in less temperate regions of the country--Punxsutawney Phil (say that three times fast) saw his shadow today.

What does that mean? Well, if you trust the furry little creature from Gobbler's Knob, don't put away those winter coats just yet.

For me, that means six more weeks until I can drag my jet ski out of the garage and back into the water. (Yes, I am a wimp and don't even consider venturing out into the water unless its 78 degrees or better. And that's with a full wetsuit.)

Of course, while you all are snowboarding your tails off, I'm hoping for a little more snow at the only decent resort in Arizona so I can dust off my skis just once this year. So there are trade-offs.

I suppose I'll forget all about the snow once I fire up the ol' WaveBlaster for the first time this season. But now, it appears that's six weeks away.

Stupid groundhog...
