It's Groundhog Day!

A quote from 'Groundhog Day', one of my favourite films.

(Lines shamelessly taken from the IMDB...)


First D.J.: Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.
Second D.J.: It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
First D.J.: Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
Second D.J.: [mockingly] That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a "big blizzard thing!"
First D.J.: Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting.
Second D.J.: Especially cold!
First D.J.: Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips...
Second D.J.: - On their chapped lips...
First D.J.: - On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
Second D.J.: Punxsutawney Phil!
First D.J.: Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's
[in unison]
First D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!
Second D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!

So it is actually Groundhog Day today (yes, it is a real festivity!) and news just in says that Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow, which for the uninitiated, sadly means six more weeks of winter!
However with all the snow that hit the UK today, you would never guess that there would be MORE snow out there, this event being such a news worthy event on Yahoo.com that it even surpassed a story on Bruce Springsteen 'croching' a cameraman at the Superbowl!

The entire UK was shut down today due to this 'blizzard type thing' and it meant that I worked from home. Which was nice, but to be honest I kept thinking about 'Groundhog Day'. In fact, I think this is actually the first February 2nd in which I have experienced heavy snow...

Moreover it makes me wonder if I will be re-living the same day over again tomorrow. Tune in this time tomorrow to find out!

Otherwise I might end up looking something like this...
