February 2, 2023: Ground Hog Day. Sergeant Nipper Dog was at the Brainerd VFW to check the weather on this important day. Just like Punxsutawney Phil at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, he saw his shadow. Sgt. Dog is seen here explaining to his troops that the sun's shadow means six more weeks of winter! The forecast was for -25 degrees the next morning. So, stay warm at the VFW while the weather slowly gets better.
