The Tunnelrat Was Right, It's An Early Spring

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Fri Mar 15 08:50:02 2019



Way back in early February our good friend the Tunnelrat emerged from his underground bunker at 76th Street and di not see his shadow. This forecasted an early spring. This put him into agreement with the groundhog from Kansas, Punxsutawney Phil. This was remarkable in itself because those two seldom agree on anything. Nevertheless we are looking at sixty degree temperatures today. Usually St. Patrick's Day brings cold and rain if not snow.

Staten Island Chuck also agrees and has a higher accuracy rating than his more famous rival Punxsutawney Phil, and Tunnelrat!1

Living in New York, I refer to Staten Island Chuck as "the local rodent" - and Punxsutawney Phil, based on his fame across the country, as "the national rodent."

Even though it's supposed to be 64 or 65 today, it should be about 50 for tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day Parade - and in the 40's Sunday.

Beware of predictions of ground hogs. Did the ground hog predict an early spring on March 12-14, 1888 ?

Punxsutawney, Kansas?


Correct. That's what they call the section of Pennsylvania between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Rumor has it that Tunnelrat will remain in his 76th St bunker until the October Pulaski Day Parade!

Hopefully we can lure him out of his hideaway for Member's Day at Branford.
