Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Six More Weeks Of Cold, Bleak Winter Weather

It’ll be six more weeks of winter, according to weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil.

The famous groundhog chose the shadow scroll Wednesday morning during the yearly Groundhog Day celebration at Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Fox News reported. According to tradition, that means winter is here to stay.

“Winter has been bleak, dark and bereft of hope, yet winter is just another step in the cycle of life,” the scroll read, according to the outlet. “As I look over the faces of the true believers from around the world, I bask in the warmth of your hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate, with my shadow I have cast than a long lustrous six more weeks of winter.”

With apologies to Neil DeGrasse Tyson... look. They have it backward. Sunny weather is more common in weather that is progressing toward warmer conditions, in spring and early summer. Assuming we can even count on the groundhog actually seeing the shadow (more on that in a moment), a shadow should be a harbinger of WARMER weather, not colder.

But even factoring that in, Punxsy Phil doesn't even use a real shadow. It's all scripted in advance and the Inner Circle doesn't say how they do it.

It's a farce.

HAPPY VM DAY, EVERYONE !!!

VM = Victory over Mexico.  On this day in 1848, the Treaty of Hidalgo was signed in Mexico City ending the Mexican-American War.

btw, Gen. Beauregard Lee did not see his shadow in Jackson, Georgia today, so expect an early Spring.

OK, I grew up in Upper Michigan. When I was a kid, Winter routinely lasted until mid-to-late-April, and we often had snowfall into early May. Spring wasn't considered to have started until April at the earliest. So the Groundhog Day tradition just confused the heck out of me. "Six more weeks of Winter" would have meant it ending in mid-March, which was unthinkably early to me. And yet they talked about "Spring coming early" as the other possibility. To me, both outcomes meant Spring coming early!

My Grandma's rule of thumb was: seeing the first robin meant Spring had started. That seemed a lot more reliable to me, since robins didn't usually show up until late April, back then.

In Ohio the second week in February is usually the coldest time of the year, the nadir so to speak. The beginning of March usually marks the very slow rise to the coming Spring.

No matter what Phil says, nine times out of ten, it's still cold and rainy here well into May. Six weeks, baloney!

True, but they have a better record of prediction than the ninny "climate scientists" that's have been predicting massive Globull Warming since before 1980.  333cleo 333cleo
