GROUNDHOG DAY! WINTER WILL...
1) END -2) CONTINUE FOR SIX MORE WEEKS -
History...
Groundhogs (aka hedgehogs, whistle pigs, woodchucks) break hibernation this time of year. The weather lore holds that when they emerge from their Winter burrow, if they see their shadows, it frightens them, they return to their holes & Winter will continue for six more weeks.
.........
If, however, it is cloudy, they do not see the shadow, so they remain out of their Winter abode and...WINTER ENDS!
...
First reports from Eastern U.S. locales should be coming in shortly...
Stay tuned to this blog for updates as they become available!
Score -
