Groundhog day: Derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early. With the crazy, unseasonably warm weather we've been having, I think most people around here would jump for joy if the groundhog does see his shadow!

Carbon County Public Health is aware of confirmed positive cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Carbon County. We are actively working in coordination with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and the Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) to monitor the situation and ensure appropriate public health measures are in place.

At this time, the risk to the general public remains low. However, individuals who own domestic birds or work with domestic birds may have an increased risk of exposure. Carbon County Public Health has free personal protective equipment (PPE) available for anyone who owns or works with domestic birds.
