MC Groundhog in da hizzouse!
Today is the day we find out what the weather is really going to do for
the rest of winter. And this prediction is not made by the head weather
forecaster at your local news station. Hell no! It is made by an
over-grown animal
related to the rat. If the thing see his shadow, 6 more weeks of
winter. If not, well then it is going to be any early spring. Why can't
the animal make predictions on other days of the year? Why does the
groundhog
have the staple of the 2nd of February? Why can't other animals
make predictions too? Muskrat in March. Aardvark in April. Mountain Lions
in May...and so on and so forth. Let's face it, animal predictions based
on them seeing their shadow is
far superior
to that of the modern day
computers and Doppler radar. Whatever the reason, Americans have been
keeping up with this
tradition
for over 125 years or so. So in case you are wondering,
Punxsutawney Phil
sees six more weeks of winter. However, if you live in the Deep South,
you might want to take the prediction of
General Lee
who says we are going to have an early spring.
