I know it's silly, but Groundhog Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I have traveled through Punxentawney, PA on several occassions just to say that I've been there. Sometimes I stop and take pictures. Here are just a few.

Ridge Lea Larry takes a break, but he'll be back next yearFor 15 years, Ridge Lea Larry, the Department of Geology's groundhog, symbol of winter's mid-point and all-around mascot dressed in custom-made threads and top hat, has lightened the dreary winter blues by predicting whether or not there will be six more weeks of winter.
But on Groundhog Day this year, the stuffed woodchuck did not see his shadow-or anything else. Depending on whom you asked, Ridge Lea Larry was either "under the weather" or on sabbatical. But it's only a temporary setback: Larry will be back on Groundhog Day, Y2K.

Happy Groundhog Day to you too! I bet he saw his shadow today. Does his prediction cover all of NY as well as PA? I like the sun without the bitter cold. Love the pics!
