Anyone cooking some sausage to celebrate?

Looks like 6 more weeks of winter according to my forecast.

Well, 4 more years of winter, but that's a subject for a different day, different forum. Anyway, I'm grilling thick cut pork chops, not sausage, but close.....

Happy groundhog Day.

Ironically - that is how I refer to my job...and part of the reason leaving is getting easier. S.O.S. just keeps coming around.

Rain cleared this morning. Its sunny and 68 degrees. Springtime here. A good day to smoke some bacon.

No shadow morning. Sunshine in the afternoon. Guess that's only three weeks more of winter.

No sausage here either, but watching Groundhog Day!

I wonder what smoked ground hog tastes like

I'm guessing similar to woodchuck, which is quite tasty!

February 2nd is not a Minnesota event.
Be around 2-3 months before we see spring.
Pulling out the kettle tomorrow to grill supper before the coming week of "it sucks" weather below zero

Isn't that the truth! Seen weather forecast for next week here, talking lows at night of 20 below and that don't include windchills. Won't be seeing any groundhogs here!

I live about an hour from Punxsutawney, nice town. This years event from Gobbler's Knob being Virtual, is really putting a Hurtin' on the local businesses that make Big $$$, with the Ground Hog Day and associated events and tourism. I feel sorry for those people. Hope next year is better...JJ

Same here.... mid march in Wyoming can be wicked, but the 6-weeks story is folklore that sort of stuck.

Our state's official groundhog "Lander Lil" died quite a few years ago, so they commissioned a bronze statue that sits in a park next to the post office, which is about 150 miles west of my city. There was a confirming "shadow" photo this morning. I don't think they did any events either.

@Brokenhandle
We're both screwed until spring, but you will be weeks ahead of me.

My brother lives just over the west border in Idaho. July and August are the only frost free months
