With only 36 minutes left in my favorite holiday, I must note that Punxsutawney Phil (the groundhog, as far as I'm concerned. Don't even talk to me about General Beauregard Lee or any other pretender to the throne) is predicting six more weeks of winter.
Incidentally Andrew Stern at grandtextauto has a post surveying arguments for the delightful movie Groundhog Day serving as a model for interactive fiction.
