GROUNDHOG DAY WEATHER REPORT FROM ABOVE THE FROST LINE





On Feburary 2, 2009, Punxsutawaney Phil in Pennsylvania saw his shadow and the word is out, "Six more weeks of winter for residents living in the Northeast."

In Atlanta, General Beauregard Lee who lives at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn did not see his shadow. It was announced. Spring is just around the corner for resident of the Southeast.

Do you believe this?

Yes, I do. Our resident groundhog (woodchuck) here above the frost line declared at daylight this morning that as soon as new green shoots appear, he will be climbing his favorite tree and dining in luxury once more.

My money is on General Beauregard Lee. If he says Spring is on the way, that's just fine with me.

Hi Sam, Fine with me too, even though they say for now we have snow showers and flurries. Tri County closed the day and evening classes. Spring, Spring. Give me Spring.
