There athis yearre conflicting reports from our rodent weather prognosticators this year. Some saw their shadow and others did not. We’ll place our bets with Punxsutawney Phil who’s right about 80% of the time.
I’m not Phil!
See my shadow? That means six more weeks of winter. Groundhogs are smart andther thrive in all sorts of weather. We don’t worry about driving conditions.
Happy Groundhog’s Day once again!
Everyone awaits the emergence of the groundhog today in the hope that an early spring will be predicted. Unfortunately our furry little friend doesn’t have a great track record in terms of forecasting the next six weeks of weather. He (or she) is right just about fifty percent of the time. There is one thing though that the groundhog always gets right. The hours of daylight are lengthening in the northern hemisphere as earth tilts on its axis and we move toward spring’s vernal equinox.
An artist had fun imagining the groundhog in its winter burrow.
Now here’s the groundhog in a summer landscape.
