A strong coldfront will arrive on wednesday bringing widespread punxsutawney, punxsutawney, pennsylvania is the place to be today as thousands gather to get a glimpse of Punxsutawney Phil in celebration of groundhog day. In just over an hour, we will find out whether or not phil will see his shadow this year. Since 2000, phil has seen his shadow in all but three years. Of course everyone is gathering in punxsutawney to find out if we will have to winter or if we can expect an early start to spring. However, as meteorologist Taylor Kanost found out, Punsutawney Phil isnt nearly as accurate as you might think. Thats right. You would think with all of the fanfare surrounding groundhog day that there would be something to phils forecating skills. It turns out thats not the case at all. Since this tradition began back in 1887, phil has seen his shadow 102 times and has not seen his shadow only 17 times. That means we would usually expect Winter Weather to extend well into the month of march. In reality, the split between an extended winter and an early spring is close to 50 50. So lets look at how phils predictions compare to virginias weather in february and march. Determining if the weather is winterlike or not is kind of subjective, but for the sake of argument lets say the threshold for Winter Weather in virginia is around 40 degrees. Since records have been kept, phil has correctly forecast virginias weather 55 incorrectly 61 times. That means phil is only accurate 47 percent of the time. That percentage will put you in the hall of fame in baseball, but in regards to forecasting the weather, that is not very good. Correctly guessed six more for virginia the weeks of winter for virginia the past two years. Historically speaking though, you have a better chance of guessing correctly with a coin flip than following phils lead.

Luckily Stacy Simmons says there were no claims from any of his farmers after the storm that dumped a foot of snow across our region. Now that most of the snow has melted simmons says now is the time to inspect barns and other buildings. Stacy simmons see if theres any damage, any rafters sagging, or any damage like that, even if the building didnt collapse, it could do damage to it. Just like home or Car Insurance not everything is covered for most farmers. Collapse coverage often costs extra along with added winter perils which insures livestock lost during weather weather. Stacy simmons youre selling livestock, buying new equipment, you need to sit down at your renewal and go over your policy. That way what matters most is covered. And youre not paying for something you no longer need.
