JACKSON, Ga. - Beauregard "Beau" Lee, Georgia's famous groundhog, has made his weather forecast.

Beau emerged from his home in Jackson on Groundhog Day and did not see his shadow.

That means Georgia could be in for an early spring.

Beau is in a land of more pleasant living.

I recognize two seasons in Georgia:

The fish are biting
I wish the fish were biting

My husband is from Central Pennsylvania, and says they have four seasons:

Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter and Road Construction.

He got fishing in during the last.

Phil says the opposite

General Beauregard Lee has twice the accuracy of Punxsutawney Phil. In their respective careers, Lee has been correct 60% of the time, while Phil has been right 30% of the time. A literal coin flip is more accurate than Phil.

And the battle of the rodents is ON.

[who knows what evil?]

Northern groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter; southern groundhog says bring on Spring!

Works for me.

Pork sausage day? That would be more appropriate for Southern states....

In the Tampa region it was 80 degrees today, open the windows and let the gentle zephyrs waft in. What winter?

I don’t think you have Whistle Pigs in Florida.

I am more interested in Slow Joe, the Delaware Rat living in the cellar at the White House. Did he see his shadow? Either way we have another year of him trying to destroy the USA.
