I'm hoping the groundhog from PA and some meteorologists are correct in their "claims" that we will have an early spring.
Here's an article....

Will there be an early spring? Groundhog Day results aside, here's the actual forecast.

Meteorologists have already made their own forecasts about what the weather will be like for the rest of winter. Here's what they say.

Do any of you prefer winter and wish it would linger?

I prefer not to trust rodents with weather predictions thanks.

As a resident of New Orleans, I would really rather delay the coming of summer as long as possible. I'm not looking forward to another summer with so many days of 100 degree plus temperatures. Not to mention the other 95ish degree days with 85 to 90% humidity.

That makes sense.
I'm a resident of NJ so I have never "walked in your shoes".
Although I did once spend a week in Singapore. It is hot and humid in Singapore all year long.
I don't think Singapore would be for you

They’re probably more accurate than local network meteorologists. Will have to pull up the data.

I went on BBC News America to look for something of a serious nature, yet an article on Ground Hog's Day caught my eye.
They seem to suggest we can't take full credit for Ground Hog's Day!

Please no
Keep spring, and thus summer, as far away as possible
