I guess it shouldn’t come as any surprise when we get news releases from AccuWeather that tell us February weather is going to suck.
February weather always sucks – even after that furry little dude in Pennsylvania sticks his head out of his burrow and says, “Yup, spring’s on the way.”

Sign up now to be among the first to know if spring will come early. All you have to do to receive the officials prediction on your mobile device is to text “Groundhog” to 247365 between now and Feb. 2.
