Fire that groundhog!

Fire him, I tell you! He did not perform his job properly this year. 

Three inches of snow, starting this afternoon into tonight. (And that's on top of the two inches we got on Saturday.) I am not amused. 

Early spring indeed.

:lol3: We are supposed to get a few inches too, then it is supposed to turn to rain, like my yard isn't soggy enough.

I have NEVER understood that groundhog thing

I kept telling people that March is unpredictable, and that we're likely to be getting more cold and snow before the end.
 

We're supposed to get some snow and a mix of everything, I thought we were done with snow but I guess not.  Don't know how much we're supposed to get, hope it's not much. 
 

Make him into scrapple.

The systems that went through here over the weekend left us with at least another foot of snow......just what is not needed. Everything that I had dug out is now under huge drifts, at least what I can see of the mess. If this melts, I will need an ark to get around, just a raft or small boat won't work. I suspect I have at least 30 hours of tractor work before I can get out of the yard again. It's bitterly cold, brutal windchill and no sign of it warming any time soon

Yeah, I thought the last one was our "Robin" snow. About 4" here and still coming down. From what I hear, the main road are clear...it's just getting out to a main road that is my problem. Needless to say, I'm taking a snow day today! Sleet and freezing rain later today. Didn't anyone tell March she was supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb?

Groundhog scrapple? Can you do that? Seriously? Ewww

We ended up with about three inches before it changed over late last night. Sleet and freezing rain with regular rain mixed in. PennDOT has been up and down the road throughout the night. I'm thankful I'm not working today. 

Supposed to be windy again today. Flurries pretty much the rest of the week. 

Dear Richard says he's not coming home from Oregon until our temperatures get to 50 degrees. That could be awhile the way things are going.

We also had around 3 inches when I got up and it has now changed to rain and freezing rain. The plows have been by and I have no desire to go out. Aaron is working from home because they are supposed to have 8 inches of all snow where he works.

:wife: :stomp: I will do more than FIRE that groundhog if I find him. Dirty little liar :lol3:! TONIGHT it is going to be about twenty degrees again. Very, very cold tomorrow for the first day of Spring and I am meeting a friend for lunch at a restaurant that is located in an outdoor mall. We were going to go shopping after lunch. Better dig out the long underwear! Yeah, this is just NUTS and can't wait for the real Spring to start

So......we all put our money together. And hire a groundhog hitman.

Ground hog - Groundhog.       There would be someone who would eat it.

He was something, but I suspect he is an old hippie having flashbacks. Temp here is 0°F and windchill around 25 below AND a ground blizzard is starting only to be followed by a real one tonight

He has been charged and found guilty of "Misrepresentation of Spring" and sentenced to death.   All in good fun, of course.

I am not going to complain.  We are so far from normal precipitation that fire season has started already and there is talk of watering restrictions.  So the more snow the better.

I can agree with you there. We have gone from extreme drought down to severe drought.  When it was warm last week, they were doing prescribed burns close to me.
