Now, I basically grew up with Phil and of course the wonderful movie "Groundhog Day" starring the infamous Punxsutawney Phil, so, imagine my surprise to find out there are 3 "official" groundhogs. I awoke Feb 2nd to have "Chuckles" the "official Connecticut prognosticator" and a bunch of hoopla about him. I was a bit confused at first because in my mind there is only one groundhog that has predicted the early/late spring thing depending upon weather (I meant to do that) or not he sees his shadow. Then after a couple more slugs of coffee realized these yahoos up here were serious and wouldn't even mention the "other groundhog". My confusion only grew deeper when I received a phone call from my mom in Georgia and she informed me that "General Beau Lee" had predicted an early spring. My question to her was "is he your local weather guy?", her response, "No, he's the "official" Georgia groundhog."So, I've sat here for the past couple of weeks wondering how a groundhog prognosticator gets his credentials. I haven't come up with anything, but decided that out of the three (that I know about) the majority should rule; therefore, I will go with the prediction of an early spring.
Happy Early Spring Everyone!
