Northern Hemisphere Hoodie Hoo Day
I guess Liz is unable to celebrate today, not being in the northern hemisphere and all.
But for those of us on the northern half of the planet here is some insight:
On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo".
It is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere are sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun.

Move Hollywood and Broadway to Lebanon, PA Day
There’s lots of room, friendly folks and Amish farms. Lebanon is a haven for residents and tourists to serenely indulge in the city’s world-famous bologna and the Wertz family homemade candies.

Forget About Groundhogs
Today is the Christian holiday of Candlemas, or if you prefer (as I do) French Candlemas, where you celebrate the purification of the virgin mary and the presentation of Jesus by eating crepes!
There are all kinds of French proverbs and sayings for Chandeleur; here are just a few. Note the similarities to the Groundhog Day predictions made in the US and Canada:
À la Chandeleur, l'hiver cesse ou reprend vigueur
On Candlemas, winter ends or strengthens
À la Chandeleur, le jour croît de deux heures
On Candlemas, the day grows by two hours
Chandeleur couverte, quarante jours de perte
Candlemas covered (in snow), forty days lost
Rosée à la Chandeleur, hiver à sa dernière heure
Dew on Candlemas, winter at its final hour
À la Chandeleur, l'hiver cesse ou reprend vigueur
On Candlemas, winter ends or strengthens
À la Chandeleur, le jour croît de deux heures
On Candlemas, the day grows by two hours
Chandeleur couverte, quarante jours de perte
Candlemas covered (in snow), forty days lost
Rosée à la Chandeleur, hiver à sa dernière heure
Dew on Candlemas, winter at its final hour
Although I'm thinking that maybe we just need to add some kind of food tradition into our Groundhogs day.
Crepes?
