Hagerstown Almanac has the Mid-Atlantic region down for a Nor'easter February 24-26, then another March 4-6. The groundhogs are a hoax...

Best use of the groundhog is on the grill.

I've heard a few West Virginians refer to them as whistle pigs...what's up with that?

They can stand//sit upright and signal by whistling.

Groundhog taste great. Smells awful while it cooks.

My uncle could whistle like a ground hog and when he did they would stand up to see their last thing.

76º here today and the same on Thursday; then mower comes out to mulch the cottonwood leaves that should have been done last November! :roll:

No, it's not going to dry out - more rain on the way - and then it's going to get cold for the weekend....

Very strange day. Was scraping ice (ice, not frost!) off my wife's windshield this morning and within a few hours was working outside in shorts and a T-shirt.

Well, at least it's not muddy out back anymore (because the effing dogs have tracked it all inside!). Heading up to see Sarge tomorrow...maybe the rain will wash some of the salt off the roads.

healy36, my yard is all clay under the grass, and we've had so much rain over the past year that the grass is not very deeply rooted. We have two Great Danes. I want ya to think about that for a minute. The front yard looks like a plowed field. With the dogs out there chasin' each other and playin' with the big ball on a rope, you can see the clumps flyin' when they're runnin'. Fortunately, they are both very good about gettin' their feet cleaned off before they come in. Takes a little time diggin' the mud from under their toe nails and between 'em, but they'll give ya each paw 'til they're done.
