"Greetings from the weather capital of the world. Phil is resting and getting ready for mating season now that his big prediction is over, but fear not. Groundhog Day is about the coming of spring, about frivolity, about curing cabin fever ( and my guess is that you and your neighbors understand cabin fever) All that being said, spring is coming… granted we may have a bit more snow, a bit more cold and a bit more wind, but alas it will come followed by summer and fall and winter again and then again next year Phil will predict the weather for the world for the 125th year. So until then Warm regards on a cold day…..From the prognosticators of prognosticators…
And please note, we are only 2 weeks in to Phil's prediction of 6 more weeks of winter weather….."
— Ben Hughes, Official handler of Punxsutawney Phil
Addendum:
Dear Punxsutawney Phil,
I am forwarding you the weather forecast for the next week in Juneau, Alaska:
'Nuff said! Enjoy winter down there!
Methinks Phil needs to get his mind off mating and think up a donut with some sprinkles on top, in lieu of the ghastly weather in that part of the country.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'. Cabin fever? What's that (smell)?
hahah, love it! They can have their winter, I'm loving early spring walks in Juneau!
ReplyDeleteWe still have over a foot of snow on the ground here in the DESERT of Utah...weirdest winter we've had in years!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! What fun that he wrote to you after your Marmot Day post!
ReplyDeleteJill, I'm friends with some of those "groundhog folks".....the whole thing is pretty much just an excuse to get plastered on a weekday :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? A bike ride with Jay-Z?
