“Thanks Rex!! Just what we needed — a foot and a half of snow! And something clearly brought on by your declaration of the snow as a ‘hoax.’ Well, tell all among us forced to shovel the 17.9-inches of your ‘hoax’ off their front walks here in the city this morning! And I’m sure all at Street & San were happy to man their plows to clear the roads of Huppke’s ‘hoax’! Do me a favor, DON’T declare Spring around here a ‘hoax.’ God only knows what THAT might bring on!!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We’re only around a third of the way into February and we’ve already picked up about two-thirds the normal rainfall we typically see. That makes our monthly total 2.40″ of rain so far, which is only .79″ below our average rainfall total for the whole month, which is 3.19″. Comparatively, February of 2019 was much drier as we only saw 1.83″ of rain that month. If we go through February and March without much rain, our wildfire danger grows quite high. AdLooking ahead to the next round of wet weather, it appears we will continue to stave off spring fire danger with rain expected on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

If you are looking for some curb appeal or to add a pop of color, think about planting or potting pansies and violas as they look beautiful growing together. I’ll keep you posted with the progress and maybe a picture of our first true, “Casa Garden Ensalada.”

SPRING, Texas – Tech giant Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it is moving its global headquarters to the Houston area from California, where the company's roots go back to the founding of Silicon Valley decades ago. Hewlett Packard Enterprise was created in 2015 when the computer hardware pioneer Hewlett-Packard Inc. broke into two parts after years of struggling to keep up with industry trends, such as consumers’ shift away from personal computers. The split left one new company, HPE, concentrated on the business of selling data center hardware and business software, while another new company, HP Inc., kept the legacy PC and printer operations. HP Inc. is still headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and remains the bigger of the two companies in terms of revenue. “We are incredibly committed to Silicon Valley,” he said.

Phil’s prediction was mirrored by one of his fellow groundhogs in New York.

That's according to data from the National Weather Service, which predicts more than 300 record cold temperatures could be tied or set from Monday to Wednesday.
