Today is Groundhog Day in the United States. In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, there is a groundhog named Phil. Today he saw his shadow, which means that there is to be 6 more weeks of winter.
My question is, this past January was the 5th warmest winter on record since sometime during the 1800s, when such records began being recorded. Is this a sign of global warming, the earth's rotation slowing, or something much larger? I hope these 6 weeks of winter bring snow to this area so that I can go skiing.
