Pennyslvania celebrates Ground Hogs day saturday feb 1.. If the ground hog sees it's shadow, 6 more weeks of winter. If it doesnt see its shadow, WE GET AN EARLY SPRING. Big time celebration here...... Party all weekend..
Happy groundhog day Barb. Do let us know if you're in for 6 more wintery weeks or if your weather is going to be springlike very soon.
Hi barb: not sure what kind of celebration you have in Penn. We have groundhog here too. Though I think mr. groundhog comes right from your state. They usually bring out a groundhog out of its hiding spot on our afternoon news. This way we see and they can let us know exactly what were headed for in the next coming weeks.
Happy Groundhog Day everyone! We will be celebrating with a traditional meatloaf made from, you guessed it, ground hog. Well it's traditional in this family anyways, lol! Pleeeeeeze tell me Punxatawny Phil is predicting a short winter, this weather is getting me down!!
I remember Punxatawny Phil!!! bless his little furry heart, i hope he didn't see his shadow. mmmmmm i remember the warm cherry pie and ice cream. Happy Groundhog's Day!!
"Wiarton Willy" will come out Feb 2nd to predict Ontario's fate too. I sure hope he predicts an early spring!
ditto...it's cloudy here today and I've got my fingers crossed! I just checked the website and it looks like Phil saw his shadow this morning which means 6 more weeks of winter for you in Penn. Here's the post: http://www.groundhog.org/prediction/ Today would have been my Dad's 90th birthday...we always celebrated his birthday with a groundhog cake. I hope he's having a great birthday up in heaven!
There are no groundhogs here, instead, we have Rocky the Red Squirrel. The tradition here is, if Rocky sees his shadow he gets shot, and if not he gets to live 6 more weeks, then gets shot. The weather doesn't seem to notice one way or the other, we still get winter for the next 3 months. Yesterday,?? the sun shone for part of the day, when I looked out at the bird feeder, Rocky had a shadow, but he refused to look at it. By the time I got out there with my trusty 22, Rocky had flown the coupe. Darn, no Rocky stew this year. Happy Groundhogs day all, by the way, did you watch the movie "Groundhogs Day" with Bill Murray last night??? Good movie. Tom
yeah that is a great movie,,, i love it. well ol' phil might have seen his shadow in Pa. and predicted 6 more weeks of winter, it must of carried over to the Artic, coz its snowing like,,,,,ummm heck!!
