Is this a tease or is it real?

I'm talking about the weather.

It has has felt very much like Spring here in the South and I love it! The sun has been shining and the temperatures have been in the mid to upper 70's!

I can't help but think about that little groundhog up in Pennsylvania that did NOT see his shadow on Ground Hogs Day. According to the legend, since he did not see his shadow... this meant that Spring was/is "just around the corner" (as opposed to 6 more weeks of winter!) Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since then, and we have had beautiful weather for over a week now. So.... I am guessing that the little critter just may have been right! Hahaa!

I am not a weather "know-it-all", but I can not remember the last time that it was this warm in the middle of February!

But..... this just might be a tease, because in on March 2009, it snowed a LOT here in the south!

So... who knows!

Look at me! I don't have anything else to write about, so I am resorting to writing about the WEATHER, of all things!! Sad, huh? **Smile**

6 More Weeks of Winter???

Today is Ground Hog Day. Everyone relies on a groundhog to make the prediction whether or not the country is going to see six more weeks of winter, or not.

Punxsutawney Phil... as he is affectionately called... lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania at Gobbler's Knob. Somehow, I think we can all predict that "Phil" WON'T be seeing his shadow today!  Check this out!

This is today's weather that is predicted for this area of Pennsylvania.


And here's the weather RIGHT NOW, there.

Nope. I don't think he is going to see his shadow!

Does this mean that Spring is just around the corner??? --- Probably not. Phil apparently isn't always right with his predictions. Poor Phil has only been correct about 39% of the time.

You can go to Groundhog.org to watch Phil's LIVE prediction!! Haahaaa!! I'm watching it now and it's so funny! They take this stuff seriously!!! The people in the audience are wearing raincoats, so.......

Nope. I don't think he's going to see his shadow! Of course.... with all of those FLOODLIGHTS that they have shining on him..... he probably WILL see his shadow!! LOL!

I just heard that Phil will make his prediction in one hour. That should be.... 7:30am, EST.  I'll have to check back then. Hope you will, too!

Happy Ground Hog Day to you all and I'm crossing my fingers & toes that Phil does NOT see his shadow!!!
