An Early Spring! North Escambia Weather Ducks Miss Shadow

February 2, 2018

On this  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 on an overcast Friday morning and  predicted an early spring for the North Escambia area that’s seen two Florida snow and ice storms so far this winter season.

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 Friday morning here in North Escambia.

    No Sun… NO Shadow

    It takes a real smart person to figure this out……NOT

    If God says 6 more weeks of winter…..that’s what it will be

    If not… then spring is on the way….Got It

    I have seen blooms pop out of Japanese Magnolias this week — that means we have one more frost coming before spring begins!
