Punxsutawney Phil

The news from Gobbler's Knob is that Phil spotted his shadow this morning and we should expect 6 more weeks of winter. Where I LIVE 6 more weeks of winter would qualify as good news.

Where I actually AM there is no winter so Phil's story is a non-starter.

There was light intermittent rain when I arrived yesterday and a bit more this morning. Port Charlotte Charlie the Ibis was not deterred.A couple of his other buddies similarly did not consider the slight wetness to be a setback.The sun is making an appearance now and it promises to be sunny and in the 70s by later on this afternoon.

More news as it happens.

Nice to have an update. It has been lightly snowing since you left and it's about 200 right now. I hope you get sunshine and biking.

Those birds look familiar. Weren't they on Como a couple of months ago?

I hope you get in some January bike miles.

Twelve degrees here as I type (down from 200). TT

Montana, We're having a 'Miller speed' good time, so far.

Jimi, The weather forecast looks promising for about 60 more degrees than you report -- or maybe 600, depending on where you're putting your decimal point.

It's February. January bike miles, by definition, occur in January.
