Sorry kids. Looks like an early spring. Winter could be wrapping up and this La Nina might have all been a bunch of bs–for the Northwest at least.
This morning Punxsutawney Phil emerged from Gobblers Knob and did not see his shadow. Shadow = 6 more weeks of winter, no shadow = spring coming. Verify here.
What does this mean for the Northwest? No idea. We don’t have groundhog’s here. We just have Renner.
Interestingly, here are a few other places that are trying to come up on Punxsutawney Phil’s game:
- Staten Island – “Staten Island Chuck”
- Alberta – “Balzac Billy”
- Wisconsin- “Jimmy the Groundhog“
- North Carolina – “Sir Walter Wally”
More info about Groundhogs can be found here: wikipedia

you mean this winter hasn’t been wrapped up already? fuck la nina, damn moody bitch.
Remember my prediction?……. “La Nina. Seem to remember relativley long periods of cold, clear, and crisp, offshore surf down here in OR. The winters before last were mild la ninas & some of the best in recent memory” Cant really complain. But the bitch will be back, always dries up this time of year no matter the phenomenamenmanaaaaaaa.
