Groundhog Day

[Kiwi]

Well, only 4 more weeks of Winter for Ontario - thanks to Wiarton Willy

The guy on the radio was having a laugh - said the ground hogs were trying to predict the end of something that never started (we've had a very light winter here)

lol!!! Punxsutawney Phil predicts another 6 weeks here... at least he didn't bite the mayor this year bwahaha

Shubenacadie Sam seems to be saying early spring too. I decided this year not to care about Balzac Billy. I want real groundhogs, not dudes in costumes. Their shadows mean nothing to me. Nothing!

But I guess it's time to play the annual Groundhog Day movie. "So put your little hand in mine . . ."

we were just discussing this at work! How nice it would be to have a "meeting" and just watch Groundhog Day ^_^

By reality will get 4 to 6 weeks of winter anyway, so yeah! I don't pay attention to the groundhog!

My life is like the movie Groundhog Day! 
But anyways I think Buckeye Chuck says early Spring here in Ohio.

6 more weeks of winter here.  It's been a mild winter, but apparently the big storm is coming in tonight finally.

No idea what the outcome here in Kentucky is but we've had a mild winter which I've very much been enjoying so I wouldn't be surprised if we got the early spring outcome too.

Ok...I "think" I understand the concept of Groundhog Day but what does the groundhog actually do to tell you how much longer winter will be?

[banditpony]

hathorcat- If the groundhog sees his shadow, then it is six more weeks of winter. (I think he is scared and goes back in his hole).
If there is no shadow, then it is the "normal" four weeks of winter.

[hathorcat]

Ahhh!! Cool....thanks banditpony!

[StarSwirl05]

Eh I don't really buy that a groundhog seeing/not seeing his shadow means anything about the weather so I don't really pay attention to the "holiday" anymore.

I wish we had the movie, I doubt hubby would download it for me he doesn't like it, haha
