Groundhog day, 2020

Buckeye Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil are both predicting an early spring, but it's sunny in Columbus, and if they were here they would see their shadows. According to the tradition, if Phil sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted six more weeks of winter-like weather. If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an "early spring." The date of Phil's prognostication is known as Groundhog Day in the United States and Canada, and has been celebrated since 1887. I don't know how long Chuck has been doing it.

My library colleague from the 1980s never mentions one of her early library positions which was in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, so maybe it just doesn't seem too glamourous.  But I did check the internet and see she is still researching and writing, and here's a recent story about her mother who was a Code Girl in WWII. https://blogs.loc.gov/folklife/2019/03/herstory-crowded-wartime-washington-and-the-code-girls-reunion/
