What a crazy day. People going all out to see a small rodent emerge from his burrow to either run back in because he has seen his shadow or come out if he does not. The whole idea does not make good sense. If the weather is good then he will see his shadow, but if it is bad then he will not. For most of the country today He will not see a shadow as he will have to crawl out in the snow. It has been a record winter with major snows here in Atlanta and all across the country.
I question why do we need the ground hog anymore? We have Al Gore. Surely Al Gore is smarter than a Ground Hog. (I wonder if I could make a game show on TV with that name?) I went to the the creator of the inter-net's web site at www.algore.com and here is a quote from his journal.
“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.” Al Gore
So there you have it Al Gore has predicted snow because of global warming. And It makes just as much sense as the all the other Rodent Predictions. As always a representative of the media was there to ask a local ground hog what he thought of Al Gore's prediction and while his words are not recorded here is his photo.
