Happy Groundhog Day! I hope those of you in the Midwest have weathered the polar vortex safely – I am wholly unable to grasp just how cold the temperatures you’ve experienced this week really are. But thankfully we can trust that rodent up in Pennsylvania to predict the weather, and spring is going to come …
