The Joys of Winter
|
It's February, but looks like spring! According to Phil, who left his burrow at 7:20 on February 2 at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to observe the weather conditions and look for his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter! We hope to get a couple good snow storms to enjoy the wonderful Vermont outdoor activities and Winter Carnivals.
