February 2~~Groundhog Day

Monday, January 31, 2011



I was born, raised and lived in Punxsutawney PA for 39 years. The legend and the excitement of Groundhog Day was a REALLY big deal for the town. Literally thousands of people journey there to see and hear what Phil has to say on February 2.

This year I am saying, "PLEASE, Phil, enough is enough." It is going to be a cloudy, snowy day, DON'T see your shadow and offer us hopes of an early spring. emoticon

    I agree too... We need the end of snow and a long gradual thaw so we do not all have to deal with spring floods.... Have fun tomorrow!!!!

    I love our Phil...always an exciting morning to see his forecast!!! We are getting freezing rain and are supposed to have between 1/4 and 1/2 inch by rush hour tomorrow. Ken is supposed to be in Pittsburgh at 10 am...won't happen if there's ice on our roads or sidewalks at home. Will just stay inside.
Hope you have a wonderful Groundhog's Day!!!
Love and hugs,
Helen

    I'm ready for spring too. I think there is a groundhog somewhere in Charlotte too, but WE know that Phil is the only TRUE predictor of spring! Love you!
