• Phil Has Spoken

    From Datalus@21:4/120 to All on Wednesday, February 02, 2022 07:34:44
    Well the prediction is in!
    Here ye! Here ye! Punxsutawney Phil has chirped — another six weeks
    of winter will be!

    As the Groundhog Day Phil-osophy goes, if the groundhog sees his
    shadow on the ground, the United States can expect six more weeks of
    winter all around. If he decides to keep his head held high, then an
    early spring will apply.

    Around 7:25 a.m. on Wednesday, Phil saw his shadow and whispered the
    fate of our nation’s winter in “groundhogese" to his Inner Circle
    at Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania. Over the course of his
    meteorological career, the marmot predicted an extended winter around
    85 percent of the time.
    Enjoy The Snow!!!!!

    Thanks a lot Punxsutawney Phil! We have a winter storm warning in effect for my area with as much as 30cm (~12 inches) of snow expected to fall by tomorrow evening.

    Our local groundhog (Wiarton Willie) predicted an early spring, but clearly he's lying through his buck teeth! ;)

    ... Logic and practical information do not seem to apply here.

    I did not catch the name on the news, but apparently one of Phil's rival "weathergroundhogs" passed away shortly before their big event this
    morning. :(



    ... 2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2.

    Our local Berkeley 'ghog, Stoney Stevie, got so baked last night he never
    even made it outside his little burrow. There was a last-minute attempt to dress up a stray cat in a top-hat and monocle that ended with deep
    scratches for the handlers that required medical attention. Berkeley
    residents concluded that we would again, indeed, have another few weeks
    of ~60 F "winter" weather, and also -- several complaints were logged
    with BPD around animal cruelty; protesting goverment-sponsored
    superstitions; alarm around generational entitlement; class strggle;
    workers' rights; and a 6 hour publi debate around the complete lack of diversity/representation of other indiginous weather-forecasting animals,
    such as the San Francisco Garter Snake. Said one Berkeley resident:
    "but seriously, what's that groundhog smoking? And can I get some?"

    PS: I live in Berkeley, CA USA.
