Roofing systems are built to endure, yet they face relentless exposure to the elements throughout the year. Whether under the blazing summer sun, pounded by torrential rain, or blanketed in snow, your roof takes the brunt of weather conditions, often without much notice until problems surface. Understanding how seasonal weather impacts your roof can empower you to take proactive steps in maintenance and repair, ultimately extending the life of your investment.
When the weather turns rough, your home is often the first line of defense. Whether it’s a heavy rainstorm, gusty winds, or a blanket of snow, your property needs to be equipped to withstand the elements, especially in regions like Longmont, Colorado, where unpredictable weather is common.
Ridgewood NJ, You might be familiar with Groundhog Day from the 1993 film in which a TV weatherman experiences the same day repeatedly. In this iconic movie, Bill Murray’s character covers the annual celebration over and over, putting Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on the map.
Punxsutawney PA, for over 130 years, Punxsutawney Phil has predicted the weather every Groundhog Day on Feb. 2 . This year (02/02/22 ) the famous groundhog from Punxsutawney, saw his his shadow at daybreak, meaning there will be six more weeks of winter.

UAE, the United Arab Emirates is testing drones that can make clouds produce rain by giving them an electric shock. Cloud-seeding technology is already used in the country, but the UAE wants to generate more rain. The country only averages 100mm of rain per year. In 2017, the government provided $15m (£10.8m) for nine different rain-enhancement projects.
Ridgewood NJ, forest fires in California last summer were prima facie evidence of global warming, climate change ,global cooling and so on , but the polar vortex that has swept through the entire center of the country from Texas to the Dakotas bringing near-century low frigid temperatures doesn’t mean the opposite?
Ridgewood NJ, Groundhog Day or Ground-Hog Day,is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2.It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog (Deitsch: Grundsau, Grunddax, Dax) emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if he does not, due to cloudiness, spring season will arrive early.
Punxsutawney PA, Punxsutawney Phil, America’s most famous groundhog, and foremost weather rodent saw his shadow Friday morning, predicting six more weeks of winter.
With Groundhog Day festivities well underway in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the groundhog known as Phil saw his shadow Friday morning, which, according to legend, means another six weeks of winter.
The 20-pound groundhog’s predictions have been accurate 39 percent of the time since the first Groundhog Day in 1887, according to StormFax.com. Phil has done slightly better in recent years, getting the forecast right 46 percent of the time since 1988.
However the average weather man or women prediction fairs far worse predicting 25 or the last 6 snow storms .
Jason Vigorito gives us some history (I’m biased on this one since it’s my hometown!) On this day in 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, was celebrated for the first time at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring. In 1993, the movie “Groundhog Day”, starring Bill Murray, popularized the usage of “groundhog day” to mean something that is repeated over and over. Today, tens of thousands of people converge on Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney each February 2 to witness Phil’s prediction. The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club hosts a three-day celebration featuring entertainment and activities. Also as a sidenote, the Punxsutawney Area School District is the only district to have the day off as a holiday, since most of the students played hooky anyway before the policy went into effect.
