6 More Weeks of Winter!

[Double Bow]

If you take your weather reports from the same source I do (animals who live underground) then you know to believe it when the world's most famous weather predicting subterrainian mammal, Punxsutawney Phil, tells us that there will be six more weeks of this bone-chilling arctic weather!

Here's the story!

That's too bad. I'd feel a little better if he said it was going to be spring since he's only been right 39% of the time.

According to his homepage, http://www.groundhog.org he's been right 100% of the time and he's been doing this for 120yrs! A marmot that old has to know a thing or two about the weather!!

I don't think Bill Murray listened to that "fuzzy little foreigner"...oh that's right, he was talking about the head greenskeeper. Anyway, it would be nice to get some winter for a while.

We're at the 45 degree point in the sine wave of the seasons. (That's what groundhog day is).. Halfway to spring. It also means that the rate of increase of increasing daylight is increasing.

Hmm, that's funny....I just got off the phone with a friend in Daytona Beach and he said there's 6 more weeks of summer!

The next six weeks of winter will be the first six! Not that my oil bill has complained much. February & March tend to have a NorEaster or two, it's just a matter of what air mass will be overhead when it comes up the coast.

While this warm weather makes my running schedule easier, bring on some frickin' blizzards! That little rodent of a groundhog will be in my crockpot for a stew if there isn't some real winter weather soon. I've yet to use my snowshoes this winter.

Pretty smart ground hog but to be precise, it's six weeks and four days.

I did not know winter had started
