More Winter To Come

03 February, 2006

I am not surprised to discover that winter will stay longer as announced yesterday on Groundhog Day. According to the legend, if the groundhog fails to see his shadow on Feb. 2, spring is just around the corner. If, however, he does see his shadow, six more weeks of winter are in store. The groundhog weathermen called Punxsutawney Phil said he saw groundhog's shadow yesterday, so there will be six more weeks of winter.


Apart from Groundhog's rule, I could tell the winter will not end soon from weird weather we had during a month. Can you believe the temperature nowadays is as high as 50s, sometimes it reached into 60s? I feel like having early summer with this mild weather. No wonder some people say this season is the warmest winter on record. However, the temperature would drop soon very low in the Eastern part of the United States starting next week as said in weather forecast. Well, I might be wrong. Everyone know the forecast is not always right but I am ready for a cold February though!
