Groundhog Day...results mixed

[BDBopper]

We've got weather anarchy folks. Will we have an early spring or six more weeks of winter?

According to Phil up there in Pennsylvania, six more weeks of winter are ahead.

However down here in the deep south we look to Gen. Beurogard Lee (not kidding) for our G-Day prognostication. The General who is stationed at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Stone Mountain, GA-Failed to see his shadow and predicts an early spring.

What will happen...Who knows. Hold on to your hats...there's nothing worse than weather anarchy! ROFL

[Mac Daddy]

OK....But Phil is THE groundhog! If Phil says long winter, then long winter it is!

[NeverNeverland]

Phil ALWAYS says more winter, dude.
I don't like Phil.

[Hakuna Makarla]

phil Sucks!! booooo Phil ( he is a cool dude, but his weather predictions tick me off. ( especially when you live in the north forty ( montana and the long winters ,they just suck !!!

[FrumiousBoojum]

Buckeye Chuck agreed with Phil...

Which is odd. It was quite cloudy today.

Winter forgot to come to Calgary. I hope that now we won't have six straight weeks of horrendous flurries just because the stupid thing saw it's shadow

[Hector]

Wait, winter, what's that?




































HAHAH I SoCal :P

[MandaBella]

Do not question the wisdom of the ONE and ONLY ground hog... Punxsutawney PHIL!!!!

Psst...Phil....I don't think we've gotten winter just yet this year....just FYI.

[melmel]

Waitaminute...

When did winter ever START exactly?

I don't think we've had a day below 60 this season! :P

[Not Afraid]

Winter began December 21st this year.

What kind of prognosticating range do these groundhogs cover? Certainly it's not a global thing.
It's possible both Phil and General Lee are accurate for their respective areas.
It's also possible that both are bunk.

Here in NorCal, I saw trees in bloom--while riding my bike in 64° weather.

Am I the only one kinda annoyed we haven't gotten a real winter season yet in the North East/Mid Atlantic? I mean...WTH?!?! I bought a new heavy coat at the end of the season last year...AND I HAVE YET TO WEAR IT!!! It's a good thing I didn't buy new boots, because there certainly hasn't been any need for that either. Half the days this month I didn't even need a jacket/coat...I was out walking around in a freaking sweatshirt in JANUARY...JANUARY!!!! I can count on one hand the amount of times I 've really needed to wear gloves/scarf/hat! I can leave the house in the morning with wet hair and not freeze. Do you want to know what the high was today? 58F!!! Another 10 degrees would be practically shorts weather! This is not normal. I need cold weather in the winter to balance out the horrible heat and humidity of the summer. </rant off>

[Hyperbole]

It's also possible that both are bunk.

Ya think?

Besides, I thought Punxsutawney Phil died in a horrible truck crash circa 1993. Also in the wreckage was the mangled body of a misogynistic Pittsburg weatherman.

That was just one day out of thousands. When you average them, he's only partially dead. Pittsburgh Phil is mostly dead, though.
