An Early Spring? North Escambia Weather Ducks Miss Shadow
February 2, 2014
On Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil, the world famous groundhog, saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. But our local weather guys, the NorthEscambia.com Weather Ducks, missed their shadow Sunday morning and predicted an early spring.
Forklore says that if the groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day, it means six more weeks of winter. We did not have a groundhog handy for a photo, but we did have the NorthEscambia.com Weather Ducks (pictured above).
And unlike like their more famous Pennsylvania weather buddy, our weather ducks also did not see their shadow Sunday morning here in North Escambia.
For those that might be a little unsure as the weather ducks’ ability, we offer the two photographs below showing the weather ducks predicting six more weeks of winter on Groundhog Day 2010 and 10 days later with their snowman in Atmore.

I say we go with the ducks…..and have some sausage while we enjoy an early spring!
lol!
The only thing I can say for the ducks is Performance Proven!
Get out for a Sunday drive in the country, its nice outside.
Drive slower and enjoy the scenery during this false spring.
Go Ducks! I really hope you’re right.
Watching the unusual amount of birds pecking for food in my yard the past day or two, makes me think 6 more weeks of winter as well…
My azaleas tell me whether winter is over of we have 6 week left. There are no buds on the branches this year so I believe it is 6 more weeks of winter for us. Anyone want to run and check their bushes?
I’m from Oregon and I believe in the power of ducks…GO DUCKS !!!!
Well I LOVE winter….we never get enough for my taste…..but I think the ducks know something that the groundhog doesn’t ! BELIEVE the ducks!!
