For us Oregonians, there isn't much point to this day they call "Groundhog's Day." Really, if you think about it, how does is apply to us? Some rodent in Pennsylvania comes out of his little rodent lair and looks at a shadow on a wall/ground, and that's supposed to tell us what the weather is going to do for the next 6 weeks. Maybe if you live in the region, it works better. However, how can we people in the other part of the country believe that it will affect OUR weather. For example, in Oregon, it rains from October to April non-stop. Is his shadow going to stop that? No, because it's an inevitable law of the universe. Unless of couse the Tsunami knocked the axis of the earth off (but 2 centimeters doesn't change much now does it?)
Additionally, any trained photography would know that if he didn't see his shadow, that would be a bad thing, as it would be OVERCAST, which indicates rain....boy are we Americans weird.
I hate to rain on the parade, but maybe I should let my goat out and see if he can see his shadow?
