Punxsutawney Phil sees shadow on Groundhog Day

6 more weeks of winter for you northern snow peeps! We are sailing today in the Florida panhandle with temps in the mid 60s. Have a nice day bundling up and shoveling snow!

grrr

The ice is safe now. We can walk/sail on water. No bugs to worry about. The ski slopes are packed....so there is an upside to this four season stuff. Greatings from the great white north.

Cold is a FAD.

Punxsutawney Phil is a FAD.

Groundhog Day is a FAD.

Was it his shadow, or someone else's? That makes a big difference you know.

Tami has got it right! Bob, we may just ship that little beast down to you! It's a nice spring day in Boston!

Define "sees his shadow"
Did he see his shadow or does it look like he "sees his shadow"?

I hear "he" is a girl anyway. What is the truth about this, is there a coverup here someplace.

Well, it's only 82F/28C down here today, I can see my shadow so I guess it will be nice for at least 6 more weeks, right? But there is no wind on the lake so I'm going bike riding instead of sailing...

He/she....semantics

im freezing, can we change the subject?

Ship that little rascal here!! That will entertain my rottweilers for about 15 minutes.

BTW,

General Beauregard Lee didn't see his shadow... who cares what some damned yankees think?!

The Mockingbirds have started nest building.

General Beauregard??? I cough and say -ripoff- at the same time!

Can't the folks around Loser Rock, GA come up with an original idea for their spring showing? How about that butt ugly UGA dog, maybe if he craps and then eats it, 6 more weeks of winter... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bob, It's not nice to brag to the people who live in colder areas (BTW it was 80 here yesterday in the Tampa area.. sailing in shorts) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll be flying into Tampa this Saturday, for two weeks of fun in the sun! I hope the good weather holds, and I can get in some decent sailing on the gulf. The condo where I go has a couple of Waves and Lasers on the beach. (I usually end up giving lots of rides and sailing lessons to kids and elderly snowbirds.)

Looks like heaven to me! A little cooler for the weekend, but still better than the forecast for Indiana. I have learned however, that anything beyond "tomorrow's forecast" there is purely a guess, and subject to change.

That's true up north, but the weather systems don't move as quickly down here so the forecasts are a little more reliable day to day, even 3-4 days out.

Well they got it totally wrong 2 weekends ago (gasparilla)... they said no rain till evening... and 70* ... WRONG!

But at other times they are right on.., like this weekend.

We had thundersleet <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> here yesterday (shoveled the drive), less than 0.1 mile visibility due to fog this morning, right now it's PC, winds from the SW at 16/G30 and 68 degrees <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (too bad there's ice on the lake) After midnight tonight, freezing drizzle turning to snow and a high of 32 tomorrow. You're weather sounds boring <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Indy, thanks for doing your share, hope the weather cooperates and regardless...have a great time!
