Stupid rodent!

This time of year in NY, there is always 6 more weeks of winter...ugh!

yea...I only wish there were 6 more weeks of winter!
The last of the snow usually melts in May...but i have seen it in June.

When is the first snow usually for you folks?

whoo hoo!!!

In NYC the groundhog bit the Mayor's finger. That might mean even longer

Snow comes here in Monreal late November and is usually all gone by mid April.

YAY!! ONLY 6 more weeks of winter?!??! I'm excited!

ha ha ha
My MIL says it has to snow on the crocus' heads 3 times - then it's done with snowing until next season. She has been right the times I remember to think about it!

However, the latest day of the season - with measurable snow fall in NY state - was on my bday - May 18. Think it was in 73 or 74.

So, it ain't over, till it's over.

I'm curious, when was the last time Phil did not see his shadow? It always seems like 6 more weeks of winter (and then some).

I spent GroundHog Day watching the movie "Groundhog Day"! Love it & Bill Murray! And just so Phil is proven correct, it is snowing here today & just got the phone call from the school district cancelling all afterschool activities, except sports. They'll make that decision later.

I'm still betting that winter will be over soon. We have had with the exception of an ice day or two, a warm winter. It is supposed to be 70 degrees by the weekend. I do miss seeing snow. We rarely see any that. I have to visit siblings in the NE to see it. I did talk to a friend in London yesterday, and he said London was pretty much shut down by a winter storm, which is pretty unusual for them. I hope that it warms up soon for all of you with bad weather right now, or you are on a cruise in the next month!

On the east coast, I think winter will be hanging around for awhile. It has been bitterly cold so far this season but no major snow storms in the Philly-area yet.

Is now not the time to mention that it will be 80+ here is sunny Southern California today? That my child was wearing shorts yesterday? That I wore capris and flip flops?

Bite me! (just kidding). I'm just jealous since I'll have to wait a couple of months to put the top down on mine.
