Angels4 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yup? But does it mean anything? Like most TV weathermen, Punxsutawney Phil is more about style than science. Each Groundhog Day, people gather at Gobbler's K"Ooops, word censored!" in Pennsylvania to await a winter weather prediction from America's favorite furry forecaster. We roust ourselves at the crack of dawn in the depths of winter so an overweight rodent from a peewee town in Pennsylvania can tell us we have to look forward to six more weeks of winter (Yes, Phil saw his shadow). According to Phil we will have ANOTHER six weeks of winter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Seems it's like that for a lot of the UK, Mark. Certainly seems like Groundhog day here - I was chatting to Debs on Sunday (Space Chick) and every day last week our local radio decided to play Xanadu on the radio every time the alarm went off - they surprised me a couple of times by playing it a few minutes after - when I thought I'd got away with it. So far this week I haven't heard it once - perhaps spring is coming here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 How do they know if he has seen his shadow? Do you think that town is twinned with Cockermouth in Cumbria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Judging from the news - Phil was definitely correct - hope you are OK Mark - batten the hatches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
