Even though the first day of spring was last week, many of us are still feeling the effects of Old Man Winter! Clifford Berryman penned this cartoon for The Washington Evening Star as Washington, DC shivered through a cold spell during the end of March 1915.

Ugh! It looks like we are in for six more weeks of winter! Old Punxsutawney Phil crawled out of his borrow this morning and saw his shadow. Political cartoonist Clifford Berryman had the right idea in 1918. After a brutal winter in DC, Berryman made sure to take special precautions in his cartoon so that the groundhog would not see his shadow. Why didn’t the Groundhog Club think of that?!

It’s the first day of winter! Can you believe it? We know, we can’t either! Today we are featuring a cartoon by Jim Berryman, son of Clifford Berryman, called All in the Point of View. In this cartoon, Berryman humorously highlights the differing points of view on winter snow. While on one day you might enjoy the beautiful snow on Washington’s monuments, your view changes considerably when trying to dig your car out the next day. Here’s hoping that none of you have to dig your cars out of the “drifted snow and shimmering ice” this winter!
