First Day Of Spring (With A Weather Duck Photo!)

March 20, 2010

We are in for a some spring showers for Saturday night and Sunday.

And if you are wondering about the picture — those are the NorthEscambia.com Weather Ducks. Back on Groundhog Day, we ran a photo of the Weather Ducks [click here] where they saw their shadows and predicted six more weeks of winter.  Ten days later, we had snow in North Escambia and up to five or six inches of snow just to our north.

The NorthEscambia.com Weather Ducks are seen posing with their snowman in Atmore. They’ve been in hiding ever since, ashamed of their wintry prediction. Believe it or not, we’ve actually had dozens and dozens of emails asking about the Weather Ducks since Groundhog Day, so for the first day of spring, we thought we would share the photo.

Here is your official NorthEscambia.com Weather Duck forecast for the first day of spring:

    Maybe some weather Penguins for the winter time. Those two quackers brought us more winter. Anyway they are cute ducks.

    William,
    If the weather ducks don’t already have names, (besides just “weather ducks”) you ought to have a contest to name them.
