Everyone should forget about that darn rodent. I'm predicting that winter will last until March 20, 2012.

Hmmm thats a good prediction

The Farmer's Almanac has predicted late January to through the first week of February to be bitter for the Mid Atlantic, with a temperature for the month of February 8 degrees below average! Puxy might not see himself this year!

Well....has the government come outside and seen it's shadow or not ?........oh that's right we were talking about rodents and predicting the nations' weather.......

HAHA

I kind of fear that the government is trying to make us the rodents in the spinning wheel

Have you gotten a lot of snow this year Garth?

Garth Bock · « **Reply #32 on:** January 11, 2013, 12:44:20 PM »

Central Illinois received about 1 inch which has since melted away in the past week. Now it is warm and rainy.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #33 on:** January 11, 2013, 01:31:33 PM »

Same here basically, we got a couple inches about a week ago that stayed for awhile, but we are in the 60s right now so it's definitely not here....Might hit 70 tomorrow! But I smell some cold air sneaking in to my area in about 10 days

It's starting to look and feel more and more like 1993.

Looking pretty snowy for Puxy tomorrow.....I'm calling a no shadow for tomorrow.

mkutche · « **Reply #37 on:** February 01, 2013, 10:01:22 PM »

I don't think he'll see his shadow lol

In February 2017 Obama will come of the Whitehouse and see a shadow......It will be Hillary Clintons !

Doesn't look like Wiarton Willie will see his shadow either, so maybe another early spring for us this year?

Wiarton Willie

57th Annual Wiarton Willie Festival happening Saturday
Fil Martino Feb 1, 2013 09:12:12 PM

Folklore says Wiarton Willie will predict how many more weeks of winter weather there will be Saturday morning.
Wiarton Willie is Canada’s most famous groundhog and if he sees his shadow tomorrow morning, folklore has it he will return to his burrow and we endure another six weeks of winter weather.
Kevin Frankish of Citytv’s Breakfast Television is in Wiarton for the festival Saturday.
Frankish sits on the Shadow Cabinet and is the only person out-of-towner on the stage.
“They don’t ask out-of-towners to be apart of the Shadow Cabinet, so I was honoured last year when they asked me.”
At exactly 8:07 A.M., Willie will be roused from his mid-winter hibernation.
If you believe in the predictions of groundhogs, if Willie sees his shadow, we’ll get another six-weeks of winter weather.
If he doesn’t, it means spring is around the corner.

We have our own groundhog, French Creek Freddie here in WV, but we are expecting some healthy snowfall, so I am calling potential snow blindness/not seeing his shadow

Death penalty for wrong forecasting? Weathermen be aware!

Farmtalk · « **Reply #42 on:** March 24, 2013, 11:01:03 AM »

Sounds like he's America's most wanted right now!

Aardvark · « **Reply #43 on:** March 24, 2013, 11:26:42 AM »

the NOAA claims 1-2 inches, well we have the 2" and it still is coming down.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #44 on:** February 02, 2014, 01:44:24 PM »

Has anyone heard the results yet from Puxy?

PaulMy · « **Reply #45 on:** February 02, 2014, 05:44:33 PM »

6 more weeks for us if we are to believe Wiarton Willie

Paul

French Creek Freddie in WV DID NOT see his shadow, meaning spring will come early, while Puxy DID see his shadow which means six more weeks of winter.
