In case you didn't know it yesterday was Groundhog Day so you may be re-living it today.  Also the world famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil has forecast an early Spring, at least in the US.

@neilh.

It's a sign of an early spring when a Scotsman (wearing a kilt) sits on a Thistle. 

Groundhog Day yesterday eh?

Does that explain why all the cleaning & tidying up I did in this household yesterday I've just done again today?

@Lynne, in that case it's groundhog day every day for me!

@flo - me too!  

The US National Climate Data Centre is obviously feeling threatened by groundhog Phil because it has apparently published a formal rebuttal saying that groundhog forecasts have not been as accurate as claimed!!  What they haven't done is compare Phil's six week forecast with their own.
