Dear Phil,

This winter has been particularly rough on some of my friends in the northern states. They have asked that I contact you in regards to your upcoming forecasting event. Please do not see your shadow so that they may be relieved of the heavy burden of winter. Need I remind you that I am a Cajun, and as such I have no qualms about eating a large rodent, as I have dined on similarly sized cousins of yours in the past. I know where you live, so do the right thing.

Your future demise,
Shasta

A fun little trick the groundhog day people came up with a lonnnnng time ago - do you remember what I told you about exactly how much longer before spring if he DOESN'T see his shadow? I'll give you a hint...it's not immediately spring

Maybe people just don't do the math? typical weatherman junk, kinda like 50% chance of rain, or the whole partly cloudy/partly sunny thing

This was a great post Shasta, good job and thanks to Jess for clearing up the 42 days/6 week issue, that really has had me rattled for quite some time, must be the math. Now for the good stuff, don't we all want to see Shasta eat that darn critter already? I do, maybe just maybe we can end this phil crap and get on with or without winter and go skiing, I for one live in SD own a boat and will go fishing.
