Groundhog Day

[PJ's Mom]

Today is groundhog day.

Phil didn't see his shadow this morning, so it looks like we might be in for an early spring!

[JenBKR]

I heard that this morning! WOOHOO! Maybe spring will come today?

[KittyGurl]

Yay Spring is gonna be coming soon. I really want Winter to be over since it doesn't seem to be snowing in Philly that much.
Happy Groundhog Day Everybody!!!!!!!!!

Nooo!!! Winter practically just started here... it snowed several inches last night and it's still snowing, and it's oh so beautiful!!! Spring, go away, let winter stay for a while!!

On Friday morning, 7:30 a.m., February 2, Ohio's official groundhog, Buckeye Chuck of Marion, stepped out of his lair in snowy, overcast weather. He did not see his shadow. According to legend, Ohioans can expect an early spring.
Yeah! Phil & Chuck - both predicted an early spring!
I hope we get a couple good snows before that, just to make my huskies happy.

I never believe the groundhogs - who knows what "early" means to them anyway! But Happy Groundhog Day everyone! Now let those critters get back to hibernation!

[DrKym]

You mean we are having a winter??? *looks out window * Maybe I should plant early then we can have some snow fun? 2 snow falls all season! Not counting the Ice storm ................but I have been walking the dogs in a jacket no gloves and no scarf needed for weeks now

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Our local weather man said 4 out of 5 groundhogs agree that we will have an early spring!!! Oh, how I hope the little beggers are right!!!

Um, does Phil look a bit smaller to you? Last year he seemed hugh. Maybe he retired and this is the next of kin?

Hey Doc! C'mon over to Pittsburgh. We're getting dumped on with lake effect snow! You can have ALL of it!

I'm sorry, you've been outvoted. Haven't you noticed it's cold outside

[Dorothy39]

I'm going with the Ground Hogs, Come ONNNN Spring~~Please Be Early~~~

Yeah David P, we all know what Lake Effect Snow is here too, So Dr. Goodnow, if it's snow you want, I'll be glad to contribute a few truck loads as well

Thanks for the Ground Hog Update Moff ( 4 out of 5 Ground Hogs agree....)

I like Ground Hogs now!!!

I was watching the movie today on Comedy Central. I love it. I just hope it stays cool here for the state fair. I've been one year when it was like summer and was miserable.

Up until now it's been really mild here in Kentucky. November/December we were wearing light weight jackets and at times NO jackets. January has been another story. Got cold and stayed cold. Last 2 days we have had two snow storms dumping 1 1/2 last night with 1/2 inch day before and now sub zero temperatures are headed our way by tomorrow night.
My poor daffs are covered with snow.

[Dorothy39]

Oh Yes, We're all aboard The Artic Express now~ Like it or not, we have the Golden Ticket anyway

Baby, It's going to be COLD outside pretty soon

My Poor daffodils are covered with ice and snow now ~They were tricked by Mother Nature (poor babies)

Dukedogsmom~ Sooo Glad you're okay Girl!!!!

Dorothy, we got off work this morning and I swear, I've never seen lightning that bad before. It was crazy. Luckily, the really bad things happened north of us. But, I feel horrible for those people. They said the wind was up to 150mph. End thread hijack.
