According to folklore or a marketing genius, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.
This is a huge media event for this tiny town in central Pennsylvania, and sometimes it just isn't true. I'm hoping for an early spring, we've had a double-whammy winter season and I'm tired of it.
By next weekend KC will be starting to shed out, continuing until June.
Of course this also reminds me that we need to get SERIOUS with groundhog eradication this year. When the big field is fenced, I don't want any to take up residence with the horses.
