Default Groundhog Day !!!!

Just on a light note to end the weekend...... its nearly goundhog day, and I thought that as Tony thought it was just a movie....I would post a point or two about this day..........

2nd February; in American folklore, a day that is popularly supposed to provide the key to the weather for the remainder of the winter. Specifically, if the groundhog (woodchuck, Marmota monax), upon emerging from its hole, casts a shadow, it will return underground, thereby foreboding more wintry weather. There is no convincing statistical evidence to support this belief. ...


if the ground hog emerges and sees his shadow on this day, there will be 6 more weeks of winter

Groundhog Day is a traditional festival celebrated in the USA and Canada on February 2.

so in short....sounds like another day to party

Happy groundhog day everyone

I'm hoping he does emerge, I'll take 6 more weeks of this winter's weather any time.

I was doing alright until I saw the 1st name on the list of Gobbler's Knob event sponsors

A very special thank you to our specific event sponsors:

Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion

Yes 3 am party until 7.25 am plenty of vaseline on the lips even in this years weather.
