My theory is, Whistlepigs are local. That Pennsylvania fellow does NOT get to predict everyone's weather. . . . As for me, and my groundhogs, it's snowing. NO SHADOWS!! Winter is over. That's all. No more. Done.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

How's that working out, so far?
At this point my vote goes for six more weeks. Don't know about the groundhog, but 25" of new snow since yesterday carries more weight than a shadow.
Even if...only the shadow knows...
This is *only* a spring snow. . . It sez right here in the contract. Small print. . . .
