February 2nd ... Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter ... I hate that little rodent :breathefire:
Thanks, Janie! Someone had to do it! :lol: :lol: Just kidding Trina, but if you come to Colorado, we have plenty of winter for you! Last night we had thunder snow! George
Hi George! :wave: nice to see ya!!!! Trina doesn't know what she's missing ... snow, ice, high heating bills, slippin' and slidin', wind, scraping the windshield, wearing mittens and earmuffs, sleeping under a pile of blankets ... that chica just doesn't understand! :cry:
I much prefer our Canadian rodent Wiarton Willie! Hot off the press.... WIARTON, Ont. - Severe weather across the country that plunged the Prairies in the deep freeze, Prince Edward Island in the dark and Ontario and Quebec under a massive dump of snow will soon come to an end, according to Canada's furry weather forecasters. Wiarton Willie, Canada's most famous weather prognosticating rodent, heralded an early spring when he failed to see his shadow after being roused from his slumber early Saturday in this small southern Ontario community. Folklore has it that if a groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day, he'll flee to his burrow, heralding six more weeks of winter - if he doesn't, it means early spring. "Dignitaries, me lads and ladies," the town crier Bruce Kruger proclaimed while ringing his bell, "get your shorts and T-shirts too, Wiarton Willie's annual task is through. Now the town crier proudly rings, Willie predicts it's an early spring."
Hey, I can't help it if y'all choose to live where the snow falls a$$hole deep to a giraffe. :roll: I like the white stuff.
