How nice, like the old Candelmas custom, clergy blessing and distributing candles for winter. Clear weather on Candelmas (Feb. 2) meant Spring's imminent arrival.

All eyes on Pennsylvania's Groundhog Phil today for his prognostication -- more winter or an early spring? Based on medieval Candelmas: "If Candelmas be fair and bright, winter has another flight; if Candelmas brings clouds and rain, winter shall not come again". WETA Classical.

Thank you, John!

A birthday nod to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who unfailingly captures us with beauty, elegance, depth and wit. Born on this day in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria, as vital today as ever. His statue in Salzburg:
