An amazing date! Today has a special date!

Yes – it’s the happiest day of the year! Just don’t go outside or you might see your shadow, and then we’ll have 6 more weeks of weather.

Groundhog Day - Wikipedia

As an aside, I read 1440, a daily newsletter. Toward the end, they have a section with historical dates. Today’s had this:

Historybook: New Amsterdam (present-day New York) becomes a city (1653); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); HBD Shakira (1977); RIP Hollywood legend Gene Kelly (1996); Philip Seymour Hoffman dies of drug overdose (2014).
