    groundhog day!

    Punxatawney Phil gave his prediction this morning. I watched it live on my local station. We are to be blessed with six more weeks of winter! Whoopie!

    Yeahh!!!
    I'm glad!
    Maybe winter will FINALLY hit North East Ohio!
    We've only had 2 real snow storms, each time putting down 6'' in my area, more in others. But then shortly after the snow... the temps have warmed up and the snow was gone!

    David we have yet to experience ANY winter yet here in the Philadelphia area. When it has been very cold we have been dry. When it is warm there is lots of precipitation all in the form of rain. I think a little snow might be welcome, but I just mean a little!

    These last couple of winters are not the winters I've grown accustomed to here in NE Ohio. That's ok w/me, though. After having lived in Arizona for 2 years, my blood never did thicken back up. The warmer the better for me.
    Blessings,

    Forget Phil, Buckeye Chuck Predicts Early Spring
    Ohio Groundhog Fails To See Shadow

    MARION, Ohio -- It's been a warm winter for the Buckeye state, and it's apparently ending a little early this year: at sunrise Saturday morning, Ohio's own furry forecaster Buckeye Chuck failed to see his shadow.

    According to tradition, that means an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.

    Under cloudy skies, before a crowd of about 200 people eating spam sandwiches and drinking hot chocolate, the groundhog was pulled from his cage at 7:42 a.m. His handlers report he looked around, but did not see his shadow.

    The Ohio groundhog's more famous neighbor, Punxsutawney Phil, did see his shadow this morning in Pennsylvania, and is calling for six more weeks of winter.

    The Groundhog Day tradition comes from a German superstition that says bad weather is coming if an animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas.

    Buckeye Chuck was declared Ohio's official groundhog in 1979.

    Marion is 45 miles north of Columbus.
