Is Punxsutawney Phil set to punk us again this year?

Just how accurate is the groundhog's prediction?

Phil's  prediction has been accurate around 40-50% of the time, which means it is mostly for entertainment purposes. Yet, every year we await this tradition to see if we need to start adding pedicures back into our to do lists.

Based on recent weather trends, I'd say you can at least let the pedicures slide for a few more weeks.

While we are on the subject of winter weather... see how well your memory serves you about the last big snow we received.

Catherine O’Hara, beloved for her iconic roles in “Home Alone” and “Schitt’s Creek,” has died at 71 in Los Angeles after a brief illness.

O’Hara’s five-decade career began on Canada’s “SCTV,” where her comedic brilliance first caught public attention.

She became a household name as Kate McCallister in the “Home Alone” movies and later won hearts worldwide as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek.”

Her work in “Schitt’s Creek” earned her both an Emmy and a Golden Globe, highlighting her unique talent.

Colleagues from Macaulay Culkin to Pedro Pascal paid tribute, calling her a “genius” and expressing deep gratitude for her influence and warmth.

O’Hara’s legacy lives on through the laughter, kindness, and unforgettable characters she shared with the world.

She is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and their sons, Matthew and Luke.
