3. It has warmed up here today.
I changed from my sweat pants and shirt to blue jeans and t-shirt.

Then in a few days I will have to change back

How cold is it where you are.

7. I think it should get to 72 tomorrow and then back into the 60's all week.
Just so it isn't humid I am ok.

Hope is warms up soon for y'all.

I wish it would stay cooler here, summer is coming fast enough.

5. I think when they see their shadow it means six more weeks of
winter, but when they do not see their shadow, it bodes a month and a half of winter left.

Looks like a wash to me.


And I'm not fond of cold weather either. I just got back from the hospital after having a pacemaker implanted and found frozen pipes at my house.

DRAT!

If we can cut 13 days off the 6 weeks that is fine by me

11. cross-quarter days are "inverse" weather predictors
and quarter-days are direct weather predictors though I doubt it's any more accurate than flipping a coin.

8. *
Phil: You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.

9. Groundhog Day, one of my favorite movies.
I wouldn't mind a Groundhog Day if I could control it.

10. Well, that's a completely different affair than what Phil got
:D

It's rated at 8.1 on imdb.com
I should go rent it (or buy it) and watch it again. imdb has some great quotes, too. Here's another appropriate one to this thread:

Phil: There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.

12. Great movie
This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to *eat* it. You're hypocrites, all of you!

13. Cry me a river, Virginian!
It was -23 here in Ohio last night (with wind chill) and it has been even worse in Minnesota.
:rofl:
