it snowed yesterday and it is freezing today.....
I am discrediting groundhogs as meteorologists
I don't know who decided it was a good idea to rely on the largest member of the squirrel family to predict weather but they were very foolish. Especially since in order to get them to predict the weather they are woken up and driven out of bed, being forceful does not seem to be a good way to get a cooperative and truthful weather forecast.
That in itself is evident when watching the news. There is so much pressure on predicting the weather accurately and how many times is it incorrect. I think meteorologists don't work well under pressure.
Also maybe if we just waited fro groundhogs to come out on their own they would be better indicators of spring.
Overall, I continue in my belief that groundhogs day and weather predicting varmint is incredibly silly. So why do we still celebrate this day?
I think it is just to give elementary school children another silly holiday. I guess I support that.
