Punxsutawney Phil, our official groundhog, saw his shadow this morning. This means we'll have 6 more weeks of winter, but you know what? Who really cares?

With the average temperature in January at about 36°, this has been Chicago's warmest January since 1928. You know how we're always complaining that spring is way too short? This was like a full extra month of spring! It was warm enough to make this the 3rd mildest January in 135 years of records.

So, 6 more weeks of winter? Bring it!
