Members alwaysAMC Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 Wow - its Groundhog's Day. I totally forget this 'holiday' - every year since elementary school! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapQueen89 Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 YAY!! I am so ready for spring! I hate the cold weather, although snow is pretty -- but it's needed at Christmas time, not at Easter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 And you know, Phil's (and other's) prediciton of an early spring comes only one day after that a global warming report was released saying that global warming is a bigger problem then we thought....

Members R3dheartz Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 I sure hope the groundhog is right. I am not enjoying the cold weather right now. I think I would enjoy winter a little more if I did not have to walk outside as much as I do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 I know what you mean, makes it kinda hard to hide those Easter eggs when you have snow on the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapQueen89 Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 And we HAVE had snow on Easter. If Easter comes early enough in April, there's always a chance for snow. But Christmas was a balmy 70 degrees this year. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted February 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 I blame it on global warming. haha We've had snow here in Kentucky before, albeit flurries, in early May just in time for the Derby. I've also seen it snow here on Halloween. I remember a few years back when it was about 75 on Thanksgiving weekend...we were out in shorts hanging up the Christmas lights. We still had ferns in hanging baskets on the front porch and we were in shorts and sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members winterguy125 Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 Darn, I was hoping for a longer Winter, we are not just finally going to be seeing some really cold weather here over the weekend and next week finally going to be around Zero here.

Members R3dheartz Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 We have had snow at easter as well. We have had it as early as October too. There was a few years when I was younger when the city postponed Halloween because it was to dangerous to go outside. When everyone did get to go trick or treating in NOV you couldn't see anyone's costumes because all the kids were bundled up so much. Another time in October we had a major snowstorm over a weekend wiping out most of the cities power and school was cancelled for the whole week (which was awesome!) Then the next weekend there was another big snowstorm (not as big as the first but still a pretty measureable snow) and school was cancelled for another 3 days. The only think that stunk about getting 8 days off was they had to make up a few days at the end of the year. Now if you compare the winters from when I was younger (geez I sound old) to now you can see a major difference and I can see the affects of global warming. This has been the mildest winter that I can remember so I guess I should not complain as much as I do. We have only had 2 measurable snows in Jan. for the whole season.

Members SoapQueen89 Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 And I can remember there were winters when we'd get 10 feet of snow, blizzard conditions, and the snow would stay for weeks --- now? PSSH! A few inches and it's gone in a few days, overnight even. One good blizzard would satisfy me, and I don't need a few feet, but a good 6 to 8 inches would be nice! We had one storm blow through here back in 1976, I was 5 years old and my dad "built" me an igloo in the front yard, that's how deep the snow was. It was awesome! My dad was a popsicle till he was done, but I was having fun! LOL! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R3dheartz Posted February 2, 2007 Members Share Posted February 2, 2007 That's awesome! We bulit in igloo once and it's surprisingly not as cold as I thought since the snow is blocking the wind. After we were done playing with it out dogs would lay down inside of it until it started to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
