Holy Gobbler's Knob - Another Six More Weeks of Winter!

By
Real Estate Agent with UNITED REAL ESTATE | Central PA RS193539L

It’s official, Phil has predicted six more weeks of bone-chilling winter. Phil at Gobbler's Knob

 

This morning, like in previous years (more than 100 times since 1887), Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow at approximately 7:25 this morning in the town of Punxsutawney.  For some history on this unpopular fellow you may want to read my post from last year:  Prosecutor May Seek Death Penalty for Phil.

 

Winter doesn't bother me, and I rather enjoy it. I personally don't have a problem with his prediction.  However, because of the prolific behavior of Phil's relatives in our neighborhoods,  gardens have been sparse.  --- I just wish all groundhogs would pick up their nuts and move elsewhere, sooner than later.  

 

Do you agree with Phil’s prediction or should we just find the furry little critter and put a nail in his coffin?

Phil

Hannah, LOL!  I'm sure though, Chuck would be much more popular in our area than Phil.

Gita Bantwal Hannah was the one who mentioned Chuck, I'd never heard of him until she mentioned his accuracy!

Holy Gobbler's Knob . . . . . . . now that has to be the best post title I've ever read here on the rain!

Hello Carla ... and I have to agree, I wonder how Bette ever came up with that title?

Actually Gobbler's Knob is a clearing on top of a hill in Punxsutawney where Phil emerges from his burrow to give his annual prediction Robert (Vegas Bob) Swetz and Carla Muss-Jacobs, Principal Broker/Owner.

Good evening Bette Gottwald , If Phil says six more weeks of Winter, then that means only six more weeks until Spring, (March 16th).....or is it six weeks after March 20th? (The first day of Spring)

Hi there Larry Johnston , it appears to me the spring season will begin on March 16th, my birthday!

So what Phil actually did was give you a great birthday gift 6 weeks early.  Not bad.  Mark

Yeah, I'm done already!  Enough is enough.  We have so much snow, and it's snowing again today!

Bette,

 Our winters are not as harsh as elsewhere in the USA, as I get older I hate the heat more which is a problem living in Houston Texas!

Mark, But I really don't care, I'm happy to wait until nearly May for Spring!

Sharon, Yes with all the snow you folks in the NE States  have received (and you even expect more) I suppose enough is enough.  Go ahead and send some of it our way.  Be safe.

Heat seems to be something I just can't deal with. Up until my 40s I was "ok" with the heat, but now - ugh --- anything over 75 and I start becoming miserable Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert.
