February 2nd is  “Groundhog Day,” the day that a little woodchuck determines if there will be six more weeks of winter weather.

According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.

With this record-breaking cold winter season, I hope that groundhog does not see it’s shadow, forecasting our thaw-out.  Fingers crossed, and odds in our favor on this cloudy day, that groundhog will not see it’s shadow and spring will come early!

Whether it remains cold for another 6 weeks or spring is on the way, my favorite fashion, style, beauty and health bloggers have tips so you will survive looking fabulous in cloudy or sunny weather.
