My mom's birthday is on groundhog day and I love it because it's the only b-day in my family I can actually 'remember'.
coldest winter ever, been here 33 years and cant remember it this cold for so long. I have a scientific theory why it is, but I dont want to get laughed at. Lets just say it isnt global warming, its on a large scale we cannot control as humans,and it is the same reason we getting hotter and hotter summers,and colder and colder winters. Plus more and more hurricanes.
i remember back in the early 90's a Sonic The Hedgehog game came out on 2/2 and they dubbed it "Hedgehog Day" thats the only reason how i remember Groundhog day.
That thing looks fake this year. I bet they've replaced Phil with an animatronic groundhog, straight outta Chuck E. Cheese.
Predictability in nonlinear dynamical systems with model uncertainty is difficult. I fully support turning off the computers and developing a network of ground hogs for our forecasting needs.
Oh and for the record, I hate Groundhog Day. I especially hate all those stupid dorks that wear the top hats in that city in Pennsylvania that I couldn't spell if my life depended on it - something like Puxtawney (see I told you I can't spell it). Those stupid assclowns need to get a life, seriously.
Looking on wikipedia: WKBW-TV meteorologist Mike Randall put it a different way: since there are always six more weeks of winter after Groundhog Day, and the concept of early spring in the astronomical sense simply does not exist, then whenever the groundhog sees its shadow and predicts six more weeks of winter, the groundhog is always right, but whenever it predicts an early spring, it is always wrong. The results have an approximate 80% rate of accuracy, the average percentage of times a groundhog sees its shadow.[25] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day As I said before - stupid holiday that gives people who have no lives (meaning the dorks in the top hats) something that makes them "feel important", roflmfao.
I liked the movie. Maybe it would be exciting if someone really did steal the groundhog? Otherwise, I don't get it. Oh...it's tradition. I see a town that must be really bored.
