TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: An Update On The Woman Behind Bernie’s Mittens
You may remember when we did a Tell Me Something Good story on the 2nd grade teach from Vermont who hand-made the mittens Bernie Sanders had on in that meme that went viral. She said at the time that she only made a few pairs four years ago and gave one to Bernie. Since the meme took off she has been bombarded with requests for the mittens even though she doesn’t make them anymore. Well… there is now an update!
What started out as just her side-hustle is turning into something much bigger. She decided to give the people what they want and make some mittens. She’s partnering with a teddy bear company to make 18,000 pairs for anyone who wants to buy them.
What a crazy unexpected story. I love it.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How Accurate Are Punxsutawney Phil’s Groundhog Day Weather Predictions?
Happy Groundhog Day! America’s weirdest tradition. If you missed it this morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter. Boo. But if you were hoping for an early spring you might still have a chance.
Turns out the legendary groundhog who has been forecasting the weather since the first Groundhog Day in 1887 doesn’t have that great of a track record. The Groundhog Club (yes, that’s a real thing. Top hats and all) say their records show Phil has predicted more winter 103 times and early spring only 19 times. Since accurate weather history has been recorded in 1969 his predictions are only correct 36% of the time.
So there you go. There’s a good chance Phil was wrong and we could get that warm spring weather sooner than we think.
The Groundhogs Girlfriend
Punxsutawney Phil may have seen his shadow and declared six more weeks of winter, but what does his girlfriend have to say about that?
