Happy Groundhog Day!
Punxsutawney Phil Predicts
Six More Weeks of Winter...
Well folks, it appears that Punxsutawney Phil has made his annual forecast....and the news is sadly not so good for those of us who are looking forward to an early Spring.
Apparently, groundhog Phil, in the presence of several thousand loonies people, DID see his shadow today, signifying that there will be six more weeks of Winter this year!
And, even though it's been a relatively mild winer thus far, that's not pretty comforting news considering how much some us prefer the Spring over Winter.
Personally, I don't rely on rodents for my weather predictions. I prefer to consult the all knowing, all seeing, Magic 8 Ball for prognostications of this sort....... and for all my major decisions!
But if you're going to rely on a rodent, or the Magic 8-Ball to choose a Real Estate agent to help you buy or sell your Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area home, you might as well just pick a name out of the phone book.
Hey, how bad a decision could that be? I mean, after all, Punxsutawney Phil gets it right about 30% of the time!
Happy Groundhog Day!

Craigster, Hate to hear you're in for another six weeks of winter. Oddly enough out of the 310 days of sun Albuquerque has today is total clouds heavy with what we hope will be much needed snow! No shadow for any big ole groundhog in the Q today. Imagine that... Bring on Spring!
Wiarton Willie In Ontario disagrees and I hope he is right.
Good morning Carig,
Glad to hear the latest..didn't listen to the news this morning or read anything..off to an appointment. It's good to know that there is a prediction of 6 more weeks of winter..we aren't feeling that here in Austin..78 today with possible showers! We need the rain..bring it on!!
I'm not sure I trust anyone or anything peaking their head out of a hole.............just sayin'
SO today is Groundhog day, eh? I haven't even seen a trace of winter yet.
Craig- this has to be one of your best. As for 6 more weeks of winter... well if it's what I've been experiencing here in Delray Beach.. I'll take it!!!!

Craig, Groundhog Day is one of my favorite days and mostly because of the movie "Groundhog Day"...if you want a quick laugh, check out my Groundhog Day post.
Hi Craig ....
I have heard conflicting stories ....Time will tell
Beautiful Caribbean Weather .... in Anguilla !!
Happy Groundhog Day !!!!
Can't complain about this winter's weather Craig, but we can say that no matter what the weather is in Raleigh/Cary/Apex, Mr Rutman is the one to call for all your real estate goals!
Yup, darn it..we have been having such mild weather and can even see green grass here in WI in feb, sure wish it would be an early spring once!
Craig, must admit I love the movie more than the critter prediction. Although, the groundhog peeking out the tunnel in this post is way cuter than the guy in need of dental correction. ;)
Are groundhogs ever wrong? Take it easy and enjoy your day, we're having spring like weather in my neck of the woods today.
Just remember, "Don't drive angry!" :)
Happy Groundhog's Day to you, Craig! Six weeks- is that all?!!!!
Craig: I sure hope Phil got it wrong this year. Although our winter has been very mild, I am ready for spring to arrive.
If Winter feels like the Spring weather we've been having, I'm OK with 6 more weeks!
Hi Craig ..I am raising my hand (hate snow) ... Is Phil ever wrong ?? I am not looking forward to 6 more weeks of winter although it has been a very mild winter here in Philadelphia . Yesterday the temp climbed to 70 degrees ..amazing

Out in California, we haven't had much of a winter at all. I'd like to see rain the next 6 weeks so there's a chance of the grass not dying and me taking shows longer than 60 seconds :)
Looks like everyone is expressing the same sentiment. If it's 6 more weeks of what we've had, then there's no problem at all.
This whole thing never made sense to me. First of all, spring technically starts 3/21...so we have 6 weeks anyway. I think that once we get to mid Feb, on avg each week will be progressively warmer - on average.
LOL. Isn't that that just the cutest groundhog you ever did see. Teehee
Craig, here in Colorado, six more weeks of winter is a good thing.... The ski ares are just now getting some of their best snow. Bring it on.....
Craig, hey I'll take six more weeks of what we have today...68 and sunny...I could get used to these Alabama winters.
Winter? Raleigh Cary has been wonderful! I saw road kill on HWY 1 heading North Toward Cary. I wonder if that could be.....
Great, great post, Craig!
I was living my life until 22 years of age, until I came to United States... and didn't know that my Birthday is ON Groundhog day :) He stole all the thunder!

Happy Birthday Tatyana! Many happy returns of the day!
Love it! That good old 8 Ball is brilliant! I can't believe the winter we have had here on the Seacoast...our biggest storm was back in October and we haven't had much snow since. What we have had has melted within a day or two.
Good morning, Craig. I think that Phil has been consuming too many "Smart Pills" while being cooped up in his boro...

Two comments on how "this" groundhog is cuter than the real one?
All I can say is it must have been a slow day in the Rain!!!!
Well, that, and......
Happy Birthday Tatyana!
OH NO - 6 more weeks of winter - guess I need to go buy another sweat shirt - our style of winter coat, LOL.
Juli - I hear you! My winter sandals are starting to get worn out and I might need a new pair to get through the next six weeks!!!
