Groundhogs of North America predict early Spring

[Lancecastor]

Is this in the right Forum?

No, that's the werewolves of London forum...

I'm super stoked; i think i might be riding my motor sickle by March.

 

[yossi]

I'd be thrilled if that actually happens. I'm ready for people to start complaining about summer weather.

Ah yes, America. The land where Republicans will trust a groundhog to tell them the weather but not trust scientists about global warming.

So you're saying Republicans are more connected to nature, more spiritual and wise?

Like the native guy on the vitamin ad?

 

[Aphro]

We've barely had winter here yet.

He had to bring politics into a fun thread.

Has he not heard about the Politics Forum?

I remember when Zip was lighthearted and gay.

Yeah, reminds me of something Byron once said...

I bitched about Bush for six years, and through all that time the Republicans on this board never trashed me the way the Democrats do now that "their guy" is "in charge."

They were angry when Bush was President, but they seem even more angry now that Obama is President.

Maybe it's just disappointment.

 

[Lancecastor]

Enough of this bickering!

Prepare instead for an Early Spring!

Ahahaaahaa…
It all boils down to Politics with him.

wrong country Lance...hey, notice how nothing exists except the USA

 

[Hypoxia]

I'm located in that dark green spot east of San Francisco and not far south of Lake Tahoe (where the California-Nevada border angles).

Your map says 2f below normal.

We are currently experiencing heavy snow (rare at this date) and temps are 15f below normal -- like, frigid.

Ain't no Early Spring 'round here.

But it's just what we expect with 1) this season's El Niño event and 2) global warming pumping more energy into the hydrosphere to generate more extreme weather.

 

[Lancecastor]

The northeastern parts if north america loves the El Nino.

Fucking fat ground rat!



We've already reached our high for the day. From here it goes sub-zero...
