Happy Groundhog day ............ albeit it a bit early.
Sadly, our groundhog here in St.John's, St.John's Johnny, the official groundhog that sees the first rays of sunshine (or not) in North America, was tragically killed today. Seems a snow plow ran over the hut which was constructed directly over his burrow. In retaliation, Mother Nature (along with Environment Canada) is going to hit us with 50-75cm of snow from tonight and into Sunday morning. XX):-(
More winter here as well. We only received about 125cm of snow in January, more than half of what we normally get. Of course, with today's snow and the big storm on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, we might be over that amount by this time next week. We shall see.
In my 35 years here in St.John's, this is St.John's Johnny #13. 11 died of natural causes, and when we received 21 feet of snow in 2001 and 19 feet of snow in 2003, when being told to expect an early spring, both of those groundhogs were thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. XX)
Actually, today's nearly 25cm of snow is more than the 17cm of snow we got back on Feb.2nd, 2000.
Punxsutawney Phil is of course the only official prognosticator and has called for six more weeks of winter. Around here sunlight broke through a tiny hole in an other wise overcast sky meaning we are in for an early spring followed by six more weeks of winter??????
