Ground Hog day..

[Stitchfans]

Just dawned on me today is Ground Hogs day. Did anyone hear what did the furry little fella do and what he had to say?

6 more weeks of winter.

My college son is actually in Punxsutawney right now for the Groundhog Day festivities! He went with one of his college dorm friends who lives there.

cnn is reporting that the lesser known groundhog is saying early spring.. I think I'll stick with what Phil is predicting.

Gen. Beauregard Lee, a Georgia groundhog, alternately predicts early spring

[fraggle551]

the groundhog on Long Island did NOT see his shadow, so early spring! I'm gonna go with his prediction. I'm done with winter!

who names a groundhog Beauregard??

It sounds like something from the Dukes of Hazzard!

Even the PA Lottery named their groundhog, "Gus, The 2nd Most Famous Groundhog in PA."

Has it ever occurred to anyone that six more weeks of winter is an early spring?

In six weeks it will be March 14th. Here, in PA, we'll be mighty happy for a spring day in mid-March. Typically we have to wait til April to see any springtime.

It's like whoever wrote that dopey rule didn't live in PA (which doesn't make sense) or was just messing with us.

It depends what part of PA you live in. Winter ends here at the end of February. We usually have a problem in March trying to mow while the ground is soaked.

Last year in PA I saw snow in late April lets hope it doesn't last that long this year!

How dare you question the almighty great and powerful Punxsutawney Phil!





If my knucklehead kid ever checks in with me, I'll find out all of the details!
This is a huge deal in the town - they have an all day festival with bands, etc.

The Canadian groundhog (Wiarton Willie I believe) didn't see his shadow. I'm really hoping he was right, I can't take much more of the weather we've been having (2 storms with about 15' of snow each this winter).

And re: Beauregard, that's one of my cats' full names (we just call him Beau though )

Wiarton ((Ontario) Willie did not see his shadow.

So an early spring here
