"Happy Groundhog Day everybody. I understand he saw his shadow, so six more weeks of winter, huh? Winter like this we can handle though. We haven't really had much winter, right? But for those of us going off to Bulgaria, I think we are about to get some winter," Nuland said on Thursday as she opened her Daily Press Briefing.
