It's Groundhog day.... again! Well, we are supposed to be getting an earlier Spring this year up in the Trossachs as the sun was not shining, so neither a groundhog, badger, hedgehog, snake or a hag could have seen their shadow. Punxsatawney Phil, didn't see one either apparently!
These poems worked out right for Scotland last year;
"If February give much snow
A fine summer it doth foreshow"
"If Ash (leaves) comes before Oak, we're in for a soak
If Oak comes before Ash, we're in for a splash!"
Here the loch is finally thawing, but could we get more snow yet? Otherwise if its a mild February stormy weather is to be expected!
The Forestry Commission picnic table at Lemahamish obviously decided to go for a swim during the floods after the great thaw!
