Ground Hog Day

That day when we hope that winter comes to an early end, and then look forward for another 2-3 months of wintery weather.

Ground Hog Facts

Between 1951 and 1969, the Punxsutawney Phil always saw his shadow. In comparison, between 2005 and 2024, the Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow 7 times. 🐻

The facts are simple — the Ground Hog is seeing his shadow less today then in years past. Long winters are becoming rarer.

Watching the live feed of Ground Hog Day, I am convinced that Punxsutawney Phil was actively encouraged to choose the Shadow scroll by the Ground Hog Club. Clearly it was cloudy and no shadow today.

As Americans, we should rise up against such a stolen prediction. I sure hope President Biden asks the US Supreme Court to review the actions of Punxsutawney Phil and overturn the results of his prediction for spring in six weeks. Americans deserve a fair prediction of how many weeks of winter remain.

So the Ground Hog Saw His Shadow

Regardless, it means we are halfway through winter, and the coldest weather is beyond us. As long as the snow is relegated to the weekdays, when I am safely at work, I am fine with that. I just don’t want an ice storm and risk losing power.

I look forward to more road trips and camping, once it warms up a bit more and there are places I can go that are snow-free. I thought about taking my truck to the car wash, but that didn’t happen because I figured it would be cold and I have  to probably get dirty this weekend.

No shadow, and lots of snow on the way the next few days.
