The North East had a pretty mild winter, that was until Punxsutawney Phil told the world on February 2nd that there would only be six more weeks of winter. Ever since he saw his shadow, it has been nonstop snow in that part of the country. So much of the white stuff has fallen, records it has broken so many records in the area and there is no end in sight.
Well the town of Merrimack, NH is not happy about being buried under all of that snow and they decided to take it out on someone. Not Mother Nature, but Punxsutawney Phil. They feel he gave them hope that Spring was coming in six weeks, but he just didn’t tell them that it would be snowing all the time with freezing temperatures as a daily affair until then. So they decided to put a warrant out for his arrest. Can’t say I blame them for going after him, can you?
Just imagine if he didn’t see his shadow; and they thought were getting an early Spring? I think there would be a new Punxsutawney Phil living in that tree for Groundhog’s Day in 2016.
BTW the forecast for Merrimack is for snow over the weekend and it will not be above 30 degrees until next Thursday. Brrrrrr!
