A local TV weatherman has been doing a hokey, but fun, free family festival type day, based on the forecasting attributes of that critter for the past 30 years. It draws over 100,000 people and 30 local high school bands now to a town just west of Cleveland. It has become part of the local culture.

Your fellows look like they may be ready for some competition. Bring them on up. I’d love to be off to the races with you.

As far as I can tell PF....no woollybear has ever predicted the winter severity or mildness correctly! Least ways...not around here....unless these folks can't really "read" a woollybear! LOL!

Now...in February.....we have Punxatawny Phil (from Punxatawny, Pa.)......an old an wise (lmao) groundhog.....(I call him a woodchuck just to piss him off)......who comes out of hiding on February 2nd and we all gather round to peek at his............................................... .shadow! I was gonna say shadow! Get your mind outta the gutter....geesh! If he has a shadow..........6 more weeks of winter! Oh wait....is it, if he has a shadow spring will come soon? Hmmmm? Oh shit....I forget.....nevermind!
