Early Spring In Georgia????
That's what they say and I am looking forward to it:)
LILBURN, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia's groundhog, Gen. Beauregard Lee, has failed to see his shadow, predicting an early spring.
The Southern varmint's prediction differed early Monday from that of his famous Northern colleague, Punxsutawney Phil, who did see his shadow, meaning winter will last another six weeks.
Beau emerged from his mock-up antebellum mansion at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn about 7:30 a.m. under overcast skies and a temperature of 30 degrees. A small crowd, many waving pompoms, clapped and cheered. No official records of Beau's forecasts have been kept, but his owner, Art Rilling, has said he's only missed once in his career. That one miss was a biggie. Beau called for an early spring in 1993 and the worst blizzard in decades blasted the South.
Have a wonderful Monday afternoon!

I like Beauregard's prediction better than Phil's. I hope B.Lee is the right one. Cold, rainy and nasty here yesterday. Just cold and overcast today. Have a great day!
Oh Man ... I wish we were going to have an early spring here in Virginia. We had snow overnight ... ughhhhh!!
Keeping our fingers crossed for a warmer February.
