Silly Ground Hog

Does anyone remember the last time the ground hog did not see his shadow? Does anyone remember the last time Michigan had an early spring? Because I don't remember and I feel like we are over due. How did it come to pass that we put so much stock into the weather forecast of a woodland creature anyway? But, Here I am ranting and raging mad that the Punxsetawney Phil did not see his shadow. Silly little ground hog. Maybe next year he'll cut us some slack.
