Maybe it is because in 2017, almost all meteorologists predicted a El Nino year for the West coast. It was very dry, very.

Maybe it's because they are taught to make predictions.

Maybe because it is like all professions, they are practicing.

I would put those little emojis at the end of my sentences but I really believe that most animals can sense things SCIENCE cannot explain.

Predictions and forecasts are 2 totally different things.

X2. our wx guys here in Chicago are pretty good and usually accurate. the groundhog thing is a fun distraction. we've been to Punxsutawney PA and saw the area where the "ceremony" is held but we were there the wrong time of year. during the rest of the year the groundhogs reside in comfort at the local library. try not to take this so seriously.

i believe in animal behavior

but his has nothing to do with what the 'rodent' wants

he knows its winter, he wants to stay in borrow
he doesn't read the calendar and stick his head out

humans invented this myth, and humans have to drag him out of the borrow,

sun shining and cold..still winter
cloudy ,, spring on the way
what BS

its wet here, raining like crazy, and winter is going to hang around for a while

People play along with the Santa Claus and Easter Bunny myth also. It's all in good nature. It's better the being an old curmudgeon.

Not only was George Carlin a gifted comedian he was a deep thinker.

“Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure.”

I don't believe them either! Try forecasting weather in NW, WA.

After years of listening to Meteorologists that almost always get it wrong, I trust animal behavior long before a Meteorologist. It is the only profession where you can be wrong all the time and still have a job.
