Rodent weather

[fbhjr]

Tomorrow is national giant rodent day otherwise known at Groundhog’s day,
and one of my favorite holidays. It is the day when everyone turns over
weather forecasting to giant rodents under the theory they can’t be much
worse than the regular weather folks.
The folks who keep track of these things tell me that groundhogs run about
39% correct. Random guesses run at about 33%, so I guess they’re a bit
ahead, but not much.

Some folks may remember that there is a family of groundhogs
that lives behind the factory at work.
I’ve been watching for them all week to get a clue about the rest of the
winter.
But, they have refused to come out for either the bitter cold or the rain
with hurricane level winds.
This shows that they are very different from TV weather people as they love
wild weather and go out dancing in it when they should stay home.

Tomorrow is supposed to be partly sunny. So, the weather is in doubt.
Rodent shadow=more winter. No shadow=spring.
It could go either way.
