      It is 14f -10c and supposed to be up to 23f -5c so though cloudy, it will be a lot nicer today. And yes, the groundhog will not see his shadow :)

            Two minor things: firstly he's an American groundhog in America and secondly he's wrong about 70% of the time.
            However here nobody's seeing anythings shadow and spring is just around the corner on the 1st of March.

              Things didn't look good for the week after next.
              Possible beast from the east set up, I hope not.

                  Maybe where you are but bright sun therefore clear shadows here in N. London.
                  BTW Spring Equinox isn't until March 20th. Otherwise we are in complete agreement! :biggrin:

                    For a minute I thought they was going to quote climate change.
                    Then they added, the worst for 60 yrs, so its obviously not that then.:smile:

                      The Groundhog thing is just a bit of fun. The day that Spring starts will always be a debate - I like to say 1st March as that is sooner, but Equinox is the significant marker scientifically. Let’s face it, we often have snow in March which spoils the Spring vibe somewhat!

                      Did anyone see Venus and the Moon last night? Too cloudy here.

                            It can snow in the hills near here in any month of the year, indeed I remember snow in June in the early 1980's in Leicestershire, it didn't last, but I can remember blossom on trees covered with snow.

                                Yes, both of them were extremely bright. It's the brightest I remember ever seeing Venus as the sky was so clear - hence the heavy frost.

                                We have another heavy frost this morning.

                                I've been watching the terrible flood they are having in Townsville Australia. I was only recently there, a few weeks ago, and it was extremely hot.
