February second

Happy Groundhog day everyone... There are two ways too look at this.. Either there will be six more weeks of winter or it is just six weeks until spring.. Either way.. Take your pick that helps you make it through.. Here we have another snow storm that is wrapping up that caused pretty much everything to be closed down..

We would have to dig the snow off the groundhog and then pull him of his hole, wake him up and then find out that way.. I would say the answer is.. six more weeks until spring..

Now a few years back we had the groundhog tell everyone it would be six more weeks of winter dread and instead it got warm.. By the first of March we were getting days in the sixty degree mark and even seventies.. We got early leaves on the trees and the lilacs were flowered and done flowering by the end of April.. By May we were getting 90 degree weather..

That was the year after we had a nasty rain and flood (I think) and we would lose all that water in the creek.. The start of a dry period.. And now we get our third serious snow storm of the season, the other two was the week before Christmas and the other was Christmas afternoon and the day after..  What does this groundhog know.. Absolutely nothing..
