But New York City's groundhog (Staten Island Chuck) says we're going to have an early spring. The Staten Island Zoo claims that Chuck’s predictions have been correct 21 of the last 26 years.

6 more weeks of winter, so says the famous marmot of Punxsutawney.

"When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter." </philconnors>
 
That means Cleveland will get about 12 more weeks of winter and a dumping in early April.

(Anyone who likes baseball or was in Cleveland last April will get that joke.)

Damn!!! After the 8 1/4 inches of snow we got Thursday/Friday, I am not sure I can take 6 more weeks of this!! On the plus side though, we are supposed to have highs in the 40s and rain Monday to send this out of here, but still......six more weeks??? Geeeeeez.
 
79 degrees today. I can't put up with six more weeks of this.
 
Someone should have put a .22 round into the fat rat's skull.

Six more weeks of winter? **** that. Bring on spring.
 
The only worthwhile part of that freak show happened a couple of years ago, when the varmint got pissed about being dragged out of his cozy little burrow and bit the guy doing the dragging.

An acquaintance at the local weekly uses the occasion to write an annual "kill all the woodchucks" column, so as to lift the Woodchuck Curse that sentences us to "another miserable six weeks, instead of the normal month and a half."

I'm not sure she's kidding.
