Penny... Hi Folks! Just think! We’re at half finished January, and so far this year, Old Man Winter has been pretty kind to us. In just over two weeks, that groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, will be checking out his vestige, and then, whether he sees it or not, for us here in the Northland there should be only about six weeks of winter left.
This may be wishful theory, but one year, Spring came in early March and just stayed. Wouldn’t it be pronounced if this would be a repeat of that year? Businesses that depend on ice fishing and snowmobilers doubtlessly wouldn’t like it too much, but for the rest of us - how wonderful!
Mild stand means lower fuel bills, and for hard pressed hold, county and local governments, less snow to plow and salt to spread means fewer tax dollars to be eked out of meager budgets. Might even be some percentage left for next year!
