I saw on the weather channel where some idiot weatherman is suing the poor groundhog, and wanting the death penalty for him just because of the winter weather. SHAME on that idiot weatherman. Neither of them know much about weather. I hope Punxatawny Phil gets a pardon for his alleged mistake. Poor groundhog, just because of a silly superstition.
We have had a few days in the 60s & 70s which is nice, BUT it tricks the fruit trees another plants into blooming too soon, and then if we do get a late freeze we loose our fruits. Yeah, we need some spring weather, but it is okay if it is chilly/cold and snowy now because I do NOT want it after mid April or even into May. Our average last frost date is April 18 here, which is about when we get "blackberry winter". That is what the old timers here call the last cold snap of the season. What do they call the last cold snap of spring in your area ?
