The only thing I know about Groundhog Day is the film, when everything happens over and over again, but I found this not sure if it is the right thing, maybe some of our friends over the pond can let us know exactly what it is.

Perfect link Peta ... that's exactly what iit's all about.

A groundhog can also by another name ... a woodchuck. Red do a google search, they kinda look like tazmanian devils, only a lot fatter and without the attitude.

Hint for the future Karen.
I use a special code that under 16's cant understand.
I write "wheres my lighter?" at the end of the post if the post was induced by any extraterrestial substances.

Hint for the future Karen; If any of my posts ever dont have the words "wheres my lighter?" at the end of them, please mentaly add it yourself as I have obviously forgotten to do it.

I hope these hints help you understand my posts so as not to cause any offence, alarm, or head scratching.

Also,... anyone who honestly thought I wouldnt know what a groundhog was,.... Shame on you for being silly.

Ummm ground hog day has something to do with whether we will have a longer winter based on whether the official groundhog sees his shadow don't worry it's not that big a deal here either!

 

[slayor]

They always say he saw he's shadow how do they know

It is said that when the ground hog comes out to see to "see it showdow" you will know if your going to have a longer winter or spring is on the way.

The more part fact about this is that the ground hog doesn't eat through the winder, kind of like a bear, so when it comes out, he is really checking the weather, if "weather" isn't right, it doen't get the craving to go eat, and it goes right back hole. Now if the "weather" is right nature tells it that it is time to eat and that means spring is on the way

Well thats what i know of the whole deal

Well hopefully spring will be on it's way because it's -2 degrees out right now. With the windchill it's -13. And the worst part...no snow! Just cold, windy, and grey. They've even cancelled some elementary schools on account that it's too cold to have the kiddo's waiting for their bus.
