Amber's Rant:

This is #5 of 52 episodes for 2022! I wonder how many people actually believe in Groundhog day anymore? Well, according to the BC groundhog, we are looking at 6 more weeks of winter – Looking into it, I don't think the groundhog is ever really wrong in Canada since we often get the 6 more weeks of winter. 😀

Either way, be sure to have your back up power and what not all easy to grab since the winter storms aren't over – even if your groundhog says winter is over, there are always some pretty rough storms while transitioning into summer.

And enjoy these last few months of cold with the family! Once summer comes, I have a feeling everyone is going to be fleeing to the outdoors!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
