Jebediah the Jersey City weather predicting wombat says six more weeks of winter

Jersey City's answer to Punxsutawney Phil, Jebediah the Wombat, came out of his den near the Powerhouse Building, walked over the Warehouse Cafe for a coffee, looked up, saw his shadow and told the assembled media, "You all saw it too, six more weeks of winter, see you losers next year..."

There you have it, not only do we have a Super Bowl here today in Hudson County but also the best weather forecasting rat in the business.

Jersey City's own Jebediah the Wombat saw his shadow early this morning, six more weeks of winter

See, if the people who own Jebediah would have waited until the clouds rolled it here around 7:30 we'd be almost out of winter but they did it at 7 am when there was still some early morning sun so we're screwed. This also now begs the question who might like some 'Wombat Helper' for dinner tonight....
