Stupid rodent is right less than half of the time. First day of Spring is ALWAYS 3rd week of March; 20 or 21st. Doesn't matter what he says. We have had more than our share of cold, then real warm, then rain, and more rain, then colder, then warmer, with rain changing to snow and over 4 inches the 21st of march last year. And the cold and wet rains in April... so what spring we get will get here when it is time, and no Pa groundhog is going to make a bit of difference. We were in the single digits and 20's the last 2 weeks at night, wind chills that y'all felt right through your bones up in the midwest and north, and today we were nearly 60 with possibility of 70 by the middle of this week. Bet that it doesn't hold though. We don't seem to get much spring anymore, goes from chilly wet to hot. And colder weather doesn't come in like it used to around Thanksgiving. We have had mild temps more often than not late in Dec. many years, with the more serious weather coming in Jan and lasting later with cold later into the spring.
Phooey on Phil !!!!!
