Honestly it should be banned from work firewalls by default unless marketing needs it.

It's such a dangerous time waster. I've legit scrolled for an hour without realizing it.

It basically works the same way as it does for a real groundhog (who is also not able to communicate to humans — except through Groundhogese, of course).

The mayor or whoever just reads a prediction out to the crowd and they either cheer (if spring is coming) or they cheer less loudly (if winter is staying). Here's a 1 min video of Poor Richard's prediction, a taxidermied groundhog in Pennsylvania: https://www.therecordherald.com/videos/news/2023/02/02/hear-york-groundhogs-prediction-spring-and-eagles-vs-kansas-city-chiefs/11169342002/

How does this work for all the ones that are stuffed animals or are dead? I don't understand.

Will this be The Day After Tomorrow?

This cleared nothing up.

-40 F

This is really visually interesting. I noticed that the pins have little groundhog faces on them, nice touch!

But only some know about unverbificationizing.

I'm the creator of the site: over the last year, I've spent many hours on this side project, finding North America's predicting groundhogs and plotting them on a map. I've also included a link to a 'profile' page with a photo and their latest prediction. The sources for the individual groundhogs can be found on their profile pages (under "Source"). It's super fun to browse, and it works reasonably well on a phone.

I'll be updating them during the day — the predictions come in at different times, so I'm still halfway through getting them up to speed.

I've used Leaflet.js to build the map with a monochrome tileset and custom pins. It's an open-source repo, so you can find the code here used to implement the map: https://github.com/pcraig3/ghog-day/blob/main/public/javascripts/map.js

It's my first time ever building a map, but I am pretty happy with it so far.

Also happy to take feedback if you have any!

Finally. This winter hasn't been wintery.

Wow -40°C seems cold. What's that in Fahrenheit?

This map would be easier to read without the southern hemisphere also visible in the coastlines.

Maybe due to the specific design of the interaction. I don't want to pick sides here and i think you have a point there. But maybe tiktok is too good at what it is doing. Maybe this only affects certain people.

SR - Short Range

SP - Special Performance

Not much, we've been here before. Consisntant 0⁰ days used to feel like the norm when I was a little kid, now any mention of negative temps feels like a big todo.

Its New England, not Texas. We can handle a bit of a chill.

I live in the Great Lakes region in Canada and this has been a very mild winter. Which is nice temperature wise, but it also means we've had next to zero sunshine and a bunch of rain/wet snow that doesn't stick.

Happy to have a super frigid, but fully sunny day tomorrow (low of -17 Celsius). A nice break before it's 7 Celsius again and raining all through next week.

The White Mountains in New Hampshire are predicted to get windchills as low as -100⁰.

Still will most likely not break the state record for lowest temp.

Edit: they broke the windchill record for the US

Where is "us" in this scenario?

I didn’t even know they made new ones, interesting.

no more. last one was delivered two days ago (jan 31st).

Yes absolutely but what I find fascinating is that the measurements of caloric intake, BMR and active calories are so spot on.
