Punxsutawney Phil Has Been Indicted

Wes Styles — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:24:05 +0000

Punxsutawney Phil, the bastard groundhog who promises an early Spring and yet we never see it, has been indicted by a Butler County Prosecutor in my home state of Ohio. Yes, someone actually filed for an indictment of a groundhog. Butler County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Gmoser alleges that on/around February 2nd, 2013 “Phil did purposely, and [...]

Spring is on Wednesday, Snow Sounds About Right

I have a bone to pick with Punxsutawney Phil. 'An early Spring is coming' (which translates to six more weeks of Winter) was the prediction from our furry friend in Punxsutawney, PA.. By the way, that was six weeks ago, and no, no sign of Spring is near. In fact, expect another dose of Old Man Winter around these parts starting tonight.

How quick is time flying? Mad quick yo!! I hate when people say that. Seriously though, it seems like we were just gaining an hour of sleep as we fell back and now, well, it’s time to go ahead and Spring forward. Boooo!! The upside to springing forward? We gain warmth (eventually) and prolonged sunlight. [...]

5 Famous Weather Predicting Groundhogs You've Never Heard Of

Dave After Dark — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:10:38 +0000

It’s Groundhog Day…again. According to legend, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow, it will leave showing that winter will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow and go back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The most famous weather man in Punxsutawney is Punxsutawney Phil. However, Phil isn’t the only groundhog to predict weather. Eric Meier and I worked hard researching different groundhogs. Here’s 5 Famous Groundhogs You’ve Never Heard Of.

Did We Skip Spring?

BJ Ragone — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:29:45 +0000

Yesterday my girlfriend made a good point. It seems like we jumped right over spring into summer. There is no denying that yesterday didn’t feel much like an April day. Sure we had some of those “April Showers” but we also had July heat. What happened to that spring weather I look forward to after [...]

Capital Region Has Spring Fever

BJ Ragone — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:15:43 +0000

The temperatures are finally starting to warm up and I for one am very excited. There are several spots in the Capital Region that I am totally amped up for now that Spring is here. It seems like Winter was never going to end this year. Spring snow storms looming and temperatures a little below [...]

Spring Storm Watch?

BJ Ragone — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 09:44:20 +0000

This is no April Fools joke. Just when we thought we were moving onto better weather Mother Nature has decided to throw us a bit of a curve ball. I thought we were done with all this winter weather? The reason why I thought that is because I was under the impression that we were [...]

So Sick Of Cold & Flu Season

BJ Ragone — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:20:17 +0000

This time of the year is terrible for many reasons. The bitter cold, the snow and of course the fact that we are very susceptible of picking up a cold. Here we are in the beginning of March and some of these days it seems like Spring is further away than ever. I have [...]

Tornado Watch in Washington D.C.

amanda.medina — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:32:13 +0000

Albany and the surrounding areas are getting pounded with rain right now. I hate the rain just as much as the snow, but at this point I would prefer the rain.

Verdict Is–Early Spring

BJ Ragone — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 13:14:54 +0000

The groundhog did not see his shadow this morning, which means early spring! I don’t know if I quite believe him by the looks of things outside though. Well Staten Island Chuck stepped out of his warm little groundhog home today to meet the crowds and sure enough, he did not see his shadow and [...]
