Happy Groundhog Day!

What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

This is pitiful - 1,000 people freezing their butts off to worship rat.

The groundhog is like most other prophets; it delivers its prediction and then disappears. 
Bill Vaughn

Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed.
He turned over slowly and then he said,
"I wonder if spring is on the way,
I'll go and check the weather today...

To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring. 
W.J. Vogel

The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. 
Patrick Young

If you were offered the chance to live your own life again, would you seize the opportunity? The only real philosophical answer is automatically self-contradictory: 'Only if I did not know that I was doing so.' To go through the entire experience once more would be banal and Sisyphean—even if it did build muscle—whereas to wish to be young again and to have the benefit of one's learned and acquired existence is not at all to wish for a repeat performance, or a Groundhog Day. And the mind ought to, but cannot, set some limits to wish-thinking. All right, same me but with more money, an even sturdier penis, slightly different parents, a briefer latency period… the thing is absurd. I seriously would like to know what it was to be a woman, but like blind Tiresias would also want the option of re-metamorphosing if I wished. How terrible it is that we have so many more desires than opportunities.
Christopher Hitchens

If Candlemas Day be fair and bright,
Winter will have another fight;
But if Candlemas Day be clouds and rain,
Winter is gone, and will not come again.
Old Rhyme

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. 
Maori Proverb

Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours." 
Robert Byrne

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" 
Robin Williams

Every mile is two in winter.  
George Herbert
