'cause it's cooooold out there today.

It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?

Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.

That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a "big blizzard thing!"

Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting.

Especially cold!

Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips...

On their chapped lips...

On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?

Punxsutawney Phil!

    I love time traveling related stories, and so of course I'd love Groundhog Day, but I've never seen it. I even rented it once for two weeks and still didn't watch it.

    thinking about it being 30-40 years is really, really depressing for some reason. It's not going to make me stop watching and liking the movie, it's just a crushing level of abject pointlessness.

    The last time my dad and I watched it, we counted the number of repeats that are shown. I think it was something like 3 months, though this was ages ago that we watched it so I misremember the number.
