NWFlyer 2 #2 February 2, 2014 I hear Phil saw his shadow. If it means six more weeks of "winter" like we have today, I'll actually celebrate it. California has had unseasonably warm and dry weather last fall and so far this winter, which (while nice for skydiving) has caused a pretty dire drought condition (not to mention setting my allergies haywire!). But, this morning, we've got a nice light rain, forecast to go through the day. If Phil's right, more moisture could be really good for us."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Phillbo 11 #3 February 2, 2014 Same in Az. This means we might actually have a winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #4 February 2, 2014 We've had a mild winter so far. No moisture and a couple cold nights in the 'teens'. Right now, it's 43-deg., off and on drizzle and hip deep in drought. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drdive 0 #5 February 2, 2014 Groundhog day is similar to President's day. When Obama steps outside and sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of bullshit. "We saved your gear.

davjohns 1 #9 February 2, 2014 Groundhog Day? Again? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Longmont we hit 100% snow pack by sometime in December I think. Hopefully whenever it all decides to melt, it doesn't cause epic flooding again. I've had more than enough of that for one century.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogers 0 #15 February 3, 2014 Isn't this whole groundhog day thing really stupid? I mean, it's kind of like that "weather rock" on a string that you buy as a gag gift in a souvenir shop: If it's white, it's snowing; if it's wet, it's raining; if it's wiggling, it's windy. Back to the groundhog. If he sees his shadow, it's sunny; if he doesn't see his shadow, it's cloudy. We don't need a groundhog for that. We can just put a stick in the ground. Can you see the shadow of the stick? Yes or no - that's your forecast. Leave the darned groundhog alone and let him sleep in his burrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #16 February 2, 2016 Bump. I'm told if Phil sees his shadow today, it means 9 more months of political bullshit in the US .
