Happy Groundhogs Day from Columbus Ohio

Buckeye Chuck in Marion should be up soon to let US know whether we get six more weeks of winter or an early spring in Central Ohio.

Groundhogs are local  who is the ground hog for your part of the country? What did your groundhog predict for 2008?

The groundhog greeting is a copyrighted eCard from Real Living, a real estate brokerage.

Well, six more weeks of winter for us.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that it's sunny out and I can get some good photos today.

We are going to have an early Spring in Central Ohio.  7:42 AM it was cloudy and Buckeye Chuck did not see his shadow!  Yeah!

Thanks for the comments.  Don't gloat Neal!

I live vicariously through everyone else's groundhogs. I do have a punxsutawney phil coffee cup.  Shame I didn't know to put my coffee in it, dang.

Glad I have a nice vacation scheduled right in the middle of the next 6 weeks!  I don't know what our groundhog said, but...

Maureen F. Are you in the Howell MI groundhogs zone? Or is there a groundhog forecaster closer?  Someone in Brighton blogged about a Groundhogs Day event in Howell MI this morning...  their groundhog sleeps in... 

A vacation somewhere warm will be nice for you.   

I am surprised the Columbus Zoo does not hire a groundhog weather forecaster of it's own and usurp Buckeye Chucks authority....

Happy Groundhog Day to you Maureen. For me I see it marked on the calendar. Don't know if I could spot a groundhog to save my life. An armadillo yes. A groundhog I'm not sure.

I Twittered Happy Groundhogs Day to your Jay this AM.  I started to ask if you had a NH groundhog but then I thought New Hampshire?  No way could they get off that easy...  New Hampshire, VT, Maine, upstate NY, northern PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, MN, ND, SD...  I don't know about west of there but I am sure the northern states until you get to the Pacific NW have 6 weeks more of winter... have no hope of only half a winter most years... it would be a freak occurrence or serious global warming for the northern fringe of the US to not see a full six weeks more of winter.  I hope WE get the weather Buckeye Chuck promised us... I don't think he even covers northern Ohio.  I am sure Cleveland Carole will see a lot more snow being in the snow belt. 

I was thrilled with early springs when I moved to Ohio... I started out in Northern Ohio in Akron...  even that was so much nicer weather-wise than Wisconsin.

Gary we see groundhogs along the roads here all the time... sometimes alive.  I am sure they are in the woods and fields too. They are a very fat little animal and they stand up on their hind legs... but walk on all four.

Having grown up in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil, was always a favorite...now he is just another rodent! (kidding). Can't believe that there is only 6 more weeks. We have had a very mild winter in Florida!
Posted by Jim Hirschhorn, GRI, Real Living - Orlando (Real Living Real Estate Solutions) over 2 years ago

 

don't rub it in Jim.... mild winter!  P. Phil in PA saw his shadow... so his jursdiction gets 6 weeks more of winter.

Maureen,

  Just think, we are going to get a sneek peek at spring this week. They say it is going to be sunny and may hit 70 degrees

Posted by Mark H Roe BeSure Home Inspection Service (BeSure Home Inspection Service) over 2 years ago
I heard it was going to be nice but did not know 70 degrees!  Wow.  Thanks for the good news Mark

It seems that we are going to have an early spring in the Carolinas.
Posted by Joseph Skinner - Myrtle Beach Real Estate (Skinner & Associates Realty) over 2 years ago

Myrtle Beach!  Welcome to ActiveRain Joseph.  I have a poll about retirement or relocating to someplace warmer on one of my blog whether people in Central Ohio want to retire to Florida, the Carolina's, Arizona or elsewhere... very few votes but it is more Carolina and AZ than I expected and less Florida.  I know a lot of people from our area go to both the Carolinas and Florida for vacations.
