The most important thing to know, which the article doesn't tell you: it is decided weeks in advance if Phil will see his shadow. Yes, it's all one big scam. Sorry kids, I hope I didn't ruin anyone's Groundhog Day.

The joke is, there's always six more weeks of winter on Groundhog's Day. February the tooth is the midpoint of winter.

Get it?

 
bacccc 2009-01-31 03:17:56 PM  
Winter has NEVER ended in February in Pennsylvania ..... EVER!

/it's a MINIMUM of 6-8 more weeks of winter every year

There was an Easter Bunny, but he was run over by a car while delivering Easter eggs a few years ago. I saw a picture here once of the aftermath.

You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster and drank pina coladas. At sunset we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over...

Not to rain on your memory, I'm sure the sex was great, but there are a thousand things in the ocean tastier than lobster, and a thousand drinks tastier than a Pina Colada. BTW, making love on the beach is overrated, there is always the pesky sand in the vagina thing.

/sorry, yes I really did want to piss on your fond memories, Oh well, guess I'm just a prick.

Perhaps, but once winter took a holiday in late Jan/early Feb in Philly:

+++
A Philadelphia resident named Charles Pierce kept a detailed record of the monthly weather from 1790 through 1847, and his record is archived by Google Books. Below is his monthly report from that book.

JANUARY 1790 The average or medium temperature of this month was 44 degrees This is the mildest month of January on record. Fogs prevailed very much in the morning but a hot sun soon dispersed them and the mercury often ran up to 70 in the shade at mid day. Boys were often seen swimming in the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. There were frequent showers as in April some of which were accompanied by thunder and lightning The uncommon mildness of the weather continued until the 7th of February.

Of note is that Wiarton Willie is an albino groundhog.

I just celebrated drowned hogs day. We run into the ocean in MA every year as a charity thingy. It wasn't so cold in years past but today it was so cold it burned.
