Tomorrow is February 2, the traditional date on which we look to a rodent to tell us whether to expect six more weeks of winter weather or an early spring.
As always, it depends on which groundhog, or colloquially, the woodchuck, you're looking at, and where that groundhog is located. If you live in Plymouth and see a groundhog in your backyard tomorrow, it may or may not see its shadow, depending on what time of day you see it. If you do see a tiny furry shadow scurrying across your yard that we'll have another six weeks of cold nasty weather. Februray 2 is going to be partly cloudy with increasing clouds through the day with a high near 33 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. There's a chance of snow Saturday night, but mainly after midnight. According to the official Groundhog Day website for The Punxsatawney Groundhog Club, host of the biggest celebration of a rodent in …

We remind the motoring public to take steps to prepare for the inclement weather and offer the following driving tips to help you in navigating the commute: Remember the advice from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't panic and make sure you have your towel.

For the past three days, the entire staff of the Ch. 7 "Weather Center" has been blogging about the mild temperatures. Typically, the January thaw happens between Jan. 20-26 and is happening slightly earlier than usual this year, Reiner said. But it will be a thaw in what has already been a mild winter.

Plymouth is under a frost advisory tonight; the first of the fall. Make sure to protect those plants.
The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for Plymouth from 2 to 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to dip to the low 30s. Frost and low temperatures can damage or kill sensitive plants, and potted plants should be brought indoors or covered. On the bright side, the hard frost should kill any remaining mosquitoes in the area, lifting the danger of mosquito-borne illnesses such as EEE and West Nile Virus.
