Seen the weather they were going to get and decided death was better.
Winter is over for the East Coast. Wait, it never began.
This “winter” will end up as one of the warmest and least snowiest in 50 years.

According to the calendar, we still have over 6 weeks until the first day of spring. Surprising, isn't it?

Weather forecast can be made on various time scales. Short term forecast that goes out to a couple of days emphasise on the finer details, such as tornado and snowfall potentials.
There are also forecasts that are made on seasonal time scales (for a month up to 12 months). Unlike traditional forecasts, these seasonal forecasts only capture the average conditions over a long period of time (e.g. warmer than average or colder than average temperature) instead of explicitly predicting the day to day variations.
In short, the longer the forecast period, the less detail it has.
Groundhog prediction has no scientific basis and is nothing but superstition.
The Climate Prediction Center provides official forecast up to 3 months in advance.

RIP Fred la Marmotte.

We don't let groundhogs control our weather.

Oh, and you suppose your fancy weather models are any better? The weather can't be predicted. Only summoned through sacrifice to agricultural and weather deities.

Winter in the East Coast is over and no amount of sacrifice from Joe BUSTardi can change that.
