Happy weather-predicting-big-fat-rat day!...

Punxsutawney Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob:

El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.

Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.

On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?

On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.

Quote from a website-
"I'm sure all those meteorologists are happy to hear that some fat rat is just about as skillful as them when it comes to predicting the weather."
Actually in my opinion, Phil's MORE ACCURATE! No offense to any blog-reading weathermen out there, but again the snow we received yesterday wasn't mentioned anywhere in the forecast until a few hours before it hit.

So, let's go celebrate the big rodent by watching the movie Groundhog Day... over... and over... and over... and over...
