You can basically have a person do the interpretation. Here's one that happened this morning: https://twitter.com/MparkCarp/status/1621186521280745475

12 more months of winter

Doesn't the groundhog need to witness the shadow?

If the groundhog is dead and unable to witness, does that mean spring will always be early?

I'm imagining a prognostication ceremony more akin to a seance

I have 66 at the moment but I think there are a few that I am missing. Basically, I am adding groundhogs based on a couple years of predictions (some of them just do it once and then bail), and after this year I think there will be a few more.

Thanks!

Do you mean average predictions for the year or do you mean the average weather?

You know how when you check the temp it says "feels like" a lower temp? Being at ground level changes that so the elevation makes it more unbiased because humidity and wind

Yep, spring starts immediately after.

It should be noted i went pretty much all in: No more than 1500 calories/day and a 10km walk every day. My life is pretty sedentary too. Note that my calorie intake on Friday and Saturday was around the 3k mark but I compensate by having two 600 calorie days a week.

Oh, and i drink two litres of water a day.

Wow… a helluva lot more than I woulda figured… I kinda assumed we had Phil and maybe a couple others, not… however many that was…

Vous êtes au Québec ? J'ai lu ça ce matin, c'est vraiment dommage.

I realized while making this that these are exactly the groundhogs that need your support. All the prestige superstar groundhogs are sucking up all the media attention, while all the folksy groundhog startups are struggling to be noticed.

This Groundhog Day, support your local guy in a suit who makes everyone pancakes.

Holy shit, I fucking hate stack overflow.

Hardly. Our winter temperatures have been well above normal. Where I am we'll have a couple days of cold and then temps will hit 50F next week.

Winters have been steadily going the way dodo here in New England.

Haha I was just giving you a hard time. Have a good one.
