GROUNDHOG DAY! SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! PALINDROME DAY!
Folks in the Northern Hemisphere will find out if Spring arrives
Or they'll be condemned to six more weeks of White Hell
We've celebrated a couple New Years last month (Western solar & Asian Lunar).
But going by Ye Olde Western Calendar, February 2 marks the last Feast related to ye previous year's Yuletide - The Purification Of The Virgin, aka Candlemas.
The day is traditionally the harbinger of Spring. Or not.
According to Ye Olde British weather maxim ...
“If Candlemas Day dawns fair and clear,
Expect two Winters in the year.
But if Candlemas Day be clouds and rain,
Winter is gone and will not come again.”
So ... In a few hours we'll know if it's gonna be ...

Malverne Mel also made his weather prediction Sunday morning, at Crossroads Farm in Malvern, N.Y.
Outcome: Malverne Mel went against the grain and saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. Guess that’s not too bad, because we haven’t had much of a winter so far in the eastern U.S.
