Punxsutawney Phil brought some bad news today for those who long for warm, summer days.

He saw his shadow as he emerged from his burrow in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, thus predicting six more weeks of winter. If the pandemic is already making you feel like you're repeating the same day over and over, you might feel even more like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day after this news.

But guess what? Once the winter is over, the spring will come, and it will be all the more GLORIOUS. And in the meantime, let's lace up our boots, pull our hats down low, wrap our scarves tightly, and embrace six more weeks of winter.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what winter songs do you want to hear?
