Punxsutawney Phil, the perennial groundhog, declared he saw his shadow at sunrise, Friday February 2nd. Groundhog Day.
No early Spring for us.
“IF CANDLEMAS DAY IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR,
THERE’LL BE TWO WINTERS IN THE YEAR.”
How often is he accurate? Less than 50% of the time according to this article by Justin Boggs.
Hope he’s inaccurate this year.
I’ve been to see this event twice which might be in your bucket list. And Last year’s Groundhog Compendium
“Best groundhog ever!!!!” 🙂 Thanks for reporting the weather!!!

I’m sad. I was ready for spring. It’s been a long winter. 🙂
Spring will come. Promise. Just not as soon as you wish.
This morning the driveways and sidewalks were glazed with ice and covered with snow. Wind chills were below zero. Phil confirmed that Old Man Winter is not finished with us just yet.
The skiers are happy!
It looks like winter is digging in for a long stay up here in New England. Our groundhog might say otherwise, but I only trust Phil.
Phil knows what he’s talking about. Stay warm
Little groundhog in the ground pop your head up look around
Cute rhyme Sue.
