\nNever fooled by the frequent onset of some early and wonderful faux-spring weather, the \u201cKen-hog\u201d focuses instead on reams of environmental statistics, signs of nature, over 20 years of experience, and an innate ability to see beyond mere shadows, in order to confidently declare the end of operational snow events for yet another winter season!
\nCorrectly predicting last winter that April would bring more snow than November and December combined, this year\u2019s prophecy identifies March 20th as the true \u201dlast day of winter\u201d for 2017.
\nSo it has been predicted, and so it shall be! And with a stunning track record, marginally better than \u201cpure chance\u201d, to fall back on, you may all rest assured that it is finally time to put away the snowshoes and skis for another year, and start thinking about patio season.
