>> The Annual Groundhog Day - Forecast!

Image
Yesterday was Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania and Punxsutawney Phil , as pictured above, predicted 6 more weeks of winter weather! How come? His shadow was visible and that means: more winter. Traditionally, this is a popular event and a tourist magnet. (PS. check out Phils "W.T.F." facial expression..)  Scientifically, the result of this yearly ritual can not really be counted on, or replace the traditional weather forecast, as the National Climatic Data Center had to point out. However, it is cold here too and we believe in Punxsutawney Phil's prediction skills. So 6 more winter weeks it is! (Photo by Jeff Swensen © Getty Images and Pinterest)

For the first time in 112 years snow fell down on Egypt . When the news broke, of course the internet was running wild with photoshop altered images of Egyptian sights under the snow carpet . See an example of this below - 10 points for creativity. :) These weather circumstances must be very strange to deal with for the Egyptians, since they rarely ever even experience rain. Climate change - the other way around this time! photoshop altered image - went viral
