This morning, Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, emerged from his cozy burrow, saw his tiny shadow, and predicted six more weeks or winter. We all proceeded to groan as we dug our cars out of the 20 inches of snow that fell in Chicago from Saturday night to Monday morning.
But we do have a trick to make these next six weeks (or, more realistically, next two-three months) a little bit more bearable--a series of six Groundhog Day cocktails, concocted in the style of one of one of our favorite Bill Murray movies, Groundhog Day.
