"Groundhog Day, February 2nd, is a popular tradition in the United States. It is also a legend that traverses centuries, its origins clouded in the mists of time with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates. Myths such as this tie our present to the distant past when nature did, indeed, influence our lives. It is the day that the Groundhog comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep to look for his shadow. If he sees it, he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his hole. If the day is cloudy and, hence, shadowless, he takes it as a sign of spring and stays above ground."
So, this year Phil (The groundhog) saw his shadow and thus we are headed for 6 more weeks of WiNtERrrrrr!!! I wouldn't mind if I wouldn't need to walk, though. Specially walking on the freakin' black ice and the freezed wind blowing on your face :/
Despite that, I love winter, its amazing landscape and the trees covered on white. Like this day, I woke up and the trees were beautifully white. When I went out of the house to take pictures I was astonished to see all the snowflakes hanging on of the branches of the trees. Maybe I was surprised since it was the first time to see it... wowwww!!
I love it!!!
The snowflakes were melting on my hand :(
