As they say, if you want to reach Paradise(PA), one must first go through Intercourse. And remember Bird in Hand is worth two in the Blue Ball.

Don't forget Coxsackie NY - which even has a virus named after it!

He deserves to be a WVU Mounteer's dinner for that prediction.

I agree with PETA on this. Yes, I want to cancel Groundhog Day, or at least switch to robot groundhogs.

PETA Suggests Dragging a Meteorologist out of a Hole on Groundhog Day​

"'PETA is calling on The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club either to switch it up with a real meteorologist or an animatronic groundhog or to end this tired old sideshow altogether,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “Punxsutawney Phil is a vulnerable individual, not a toy, and should be respected enough to be left in peace.'"

"PETA notes that groundhogs are vulnerable prey animals who naturally avoid humans and enjoy digging, foraging, and hibernating in burrows that can span many acres, but the Punxsutawney groundhogs are displayed year-round in the basement of the local library. On February 2, they’re exposed to the lights of flashing cameras, human handling, and the confusion and stress of large, screaming crowds—they likely think they are going to die."

The cylon groundhogs were created by man. They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan.

I love anthropomorphizing rodent emotions.

According to channel 9 in Syracuse we have a better chance of more snow the rest of the season when Phil predicts an early Spring.

This confirms my suspicions that woodchucks aren't very good at extended weather forecasts.
