Groundhog Day

[Basil]

For those of you in the rockies, plaines, and mid-west.

 

[Guest]

I'll be in south Florida then( not too far from Doc.)

 

[DrEntropy]

Ummm... and you failed to mention this, why?

 

[Guest]

Been busy working and will be then too. I will be working 12-15 hour days and won't have time for a proper metting. I'll be about 2.5 hours away from you. I won't have time to pass by.

 

[Basil]

I'll be in Florida too, just on the other side from you.

How'd you know where'd I be ?????

I know you've been workin' on the double secret probation gov'menty stuff.

OMG, I'VE BEEN PROBED !!!!! :eeek:

 

[Steve_S]

I feel your pain. We got at least a tenth of an inch of rain today and might get more tonight. Gotta wait until tomorrow to see sun and warmth. :wink:

umm... it's a fairly narrow peninsula. Any down-time in your schedule?

All I can say is that after spending much of last week without power here in DC as a result of eight inches of wet snow and ice, Punxsutawney Phil had better not see his shadow if he knows what's good for him. Groundhog is good eatin'.

and the same fate for Wiarton Willy - though given previous years....

What a coincidence! We had a similar scandal in our family involving my late grandmother...

Just like Schrodinger's Cat....we will never know if the varmit saw his/her shadow - it's snowed in! :laugh:

My son, who lives 65 miles North East of Tulsa, Ok, had 15" of snow yesterday afternoon, but the wind was 40 to 50 MPH gusts. He figured they'd get around 20 inches before it's over. This is an area that normally gets no more than 4" all winter. They didn't get the frozen rain, which killed not only their power last winter for 3 weeks, but also stopped their water supply for a week, by pulling down trees and wires. The snow is acceptable.

I doubt Jimmy will even show his head today. He is in Sun Prairie about 5 miles from us and we have had well over 15". But the snow amount is not the problem. It is the blowing winds and drifting.

 

[Basil]

Twas minus 12 at my home yesterday with lots of snow.

I haven't seen my groundhog (AKA-<span style="font-style: italic">"woodchuck"</span>) since this shot in the Fall.

I think it's all a myth used to boost the economy of Punxsutawney (a nice, but unremarkable town that I've visited). :laugh:
