I get it – Winter is a mundane experience. It seems as a counter to the blandness and depression we experience in the still- ness of the season, society tries desperately to throw every obscure holiday at it they can. These days can range from the popular and poi- gnant – such as Valen- tine’s Day, to the abstract and absurd, like Public Sleeping Day or Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (which I personally refer to as Saturdays). One of the holidays that leans more towards the absurd is Groundhog Day, which has maintained popularity for generations. It’s so ingrained in American culture that Graphic by Clara Kight no one seems to stop and question its greater “what its shadow in the dead of So what is it with these the cold in early Febru- ural climate powers.
