Groundhog Day 2025 What's it Going to be?
In the Groundhog Day tradition, the groundhog wakes up early on the annual Feb. 2 holiday and looks around for its shadow.
If it sees its shadow, winter will persist for another six weeks. If the groundhog doesn’t see its shadow, then spring will come early.
In Gobbler's Nob PA, Punxsutawney Phil, probably annoyed at being rousted from bed so early, and after almost biting one of the assembled dignitaries, predicted another 6 weeks of winter.
Chuckles XI, his cousin in Connecticut made his annual appearance at the Lutz Children’s Museum in Manchester with a prediction of an early spring.
So, who is one to believe?
Common sense would suggest that always trust the ones closest to you which would mean we will not have that dreaded 6 extra weeks of winter. Of course, in years past, when the shortened forecast was given, we got enough snow in that shortened period to wish it had been drawn out over a longer time.
It's no secret that the flow in Connecticut is never the same as the rest of the country so could Chuckles just be trying to be different as well?
Only time will tell, but with snow expected to hit the state this evening, along with the blisterng temps in the single digits, one would wonder if Chuckles is just offering wishful thinking. and when March does come in will there be votes of impeachment for Chuckles?
