According to Phil’s prediction, we will be seeing six more weeks of winter this year. 😂
I understand he’s only right 39% of the time. In comparison, an actual meteorologist’s long-range forecast is right maybe 50% of the time. Not bad for a rodent.
Of course here in Grand County Colorado, we almost certainly have more winter left than a mere 6 weeks. More like 3 – 3 1/2 months at a guess.
In fact, I remember one of my first summers here in the mountains we got about 10 inches of snow on the 4th of July!
Ever wonder how this strange custom got started? Check out this article from the Farmer’s Alamanac.
