In case you somehow overlooked that Super Bowl Sunday was also Ground Hog Day, and need a visual reminder that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and promises six more weeks of winter, here is what’s happening on our own Crescent Beach as both high and low temperatures are hovering in the 20s. Tonight, it may drop into the teens.

With some possible snow forecast for Saturday, the temperatures should begin to rise.

Meanwhile, it’s rather pretty, isn’t it?
