Ground Hog Day 2011 and 2 of the 3 recognized prognosticating ground hogs claimed not to see their shadow and predict an early spring.  The "King" of the Ground Hogs, Beauregard Lee of the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, Georgia is on our side as is Punxatawny Phil of yankee origin,  The only defecting Ground Hog was Chattanooga Chuck.  He predicted 6 more weeks of winter.( I think they let him sleep too late).

Anyway, at least a little positive thinking to prelude the 2011 ski season.
