SHADOWY QUESTIONS

Okay, I have a few questions for that groundhog in western PA.
First of all his predication of an early spring.

Well Phil, how early? A month, a few weeks, or one day.
Does predicating an early spring mean, first we get a worse winter?

So we go to bed on Sunday night feeling good that we were able to finally see grass poking through the ice and snow.
Monday morning we awaken to find more snow had fallen. Not just some snow but more in one storm than we had all winter.

Around our neck of the woods there was between 8" and 15", depending on where you live.

Our deck had about 8". My husband plowed and shoveled most of the day. His estimations grew to upwards of 15" by the time he finished.
I think he must have seen a "snow mirage".

And now the bitter cold temperatures return.

So Phil, maybe next year you'll see your shadow and the weather will be normal again.

Make an effort, okay buddy.
