Hi Jean,

Thank goodness! This was confirmed here in Rhode Island by our own, groundhog, "Adamsville Phil." See the story on the front page of www.projo.com :wink:

Hello Jean,
Spring is coming our way as well forcasted by our own Shubenacadie Sam.


"SHUBENACADIE, N.S. -- Shubenacadie Sam, Nova Scotia's most famous weather-forecasting rodent, did not see his shadow when he emerged Wednesday -- an apparent sign that winter will soon be over"

Yipee!!!

Well that settles it then! Great news Heather! :D If it's Spring to the North and Spring to the South then it's gotta be Spring in the middle. I'm convinced....next thing you know we'll be planning a beach party :shock: ........

Best wishes

Now Now Catriona :!:

I think the word is acclimated.
