I think we are going to see a replay of the winter of 1996 on the east coast. Large snow storms followed by rain storms in between making it seem like winter is over until the next snow storm hits
Hey guys! We are talking about El Nino because the mid-winter thaw happens around Feb. 2 during El Nino years...SOOOooOOooo, it will PROBABLY not work here, in a La Nina (sort of) winter! HISTORICALLY, we se the groundhog's accuracy based on a short warming trend at this time, ESPECIALLY during the mini Ice Age....
If you want perfect predictions, wait until next year, look into the records and predict 2011's weather in 2012 using 20/20 hindsight.
OR....you can get into the fun of it and cheer on your own particular favorite greasy vermin infested rodent! After which I suggest we all get back to the BBR and know back a few brewskies, tell lies about the weather when WE were kids & envy Bill Murray for being stuck with Andy McDowell for 1,000 Groundhog Days.
In Georgia, we rely on General Beauregard Lee at the Yellow River Game Ranch for our Groundhog Day prediction.
not sure why you are banging on about El Nina when we are in the middle of a La Nina weather pattern...
More importantly, Candlemas is an old cross quarter day, halfway between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. Whether we like it or not, there are in fact six weeks left of winter.
