Weather predicting groundhog died days before Groundhog Day.  Only reasonable conclusion is world ends in less than 6 weeks.  Make these weeks count people.

    I'm learning.  I wasn't sure if I should use RIP or OT, or maybe both RIPOT, that is an advanced forum class.

    Saddle up-
    Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Wednesday, meaning that if you believe in a groundhog's ability to predict the weather -- we're in for six more weeks of winter.

    Despite the heavy overcast of an approaching storm. Hmm. He might be confusing weather with climate.

    ... or he's been dead for days or weeks and they only noticed when it came time to prep him for the big day. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but that seems rather suspicious!

    Has anyone ever explained why the groundhog is actually needed?  If it’s sunny, 6 more weeks of winter.  If it’s cloudy, than an early spring.  That’s really the driver, not a rodent.

    im drawing the line in changing the name of groundhog day, just looking at how much money the washington football team probably spent changing their name. that and the groundhog does it for free, no scientific community, no grants for studies to find out what cloudy really means......
