About this episode
The episode discusses the tradition of Groundhog Day and whether it predicts an early spring or more winter.
Will we have an early spring or six more weeks of Winter? It’s Groundhog Day, and Andrew and James have questions, mostly about why we let a rodent run our meteorological lives. In this comedy podcast episode, the guys break down the strange, wonderful tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, shadow-based forecasting, and whether any of this actually predicts the weather (spoiler: it does not). Funny, absurd, and weirdly informative, this is the Groundhog Day discussion nobody asked for but absolutely needed.
