New Hampshire police issue arrest warrant for Punxsutawney Phil

Via WMUR News in New Hampshire, the police department in the town of Merrimack, a suburb of Manchester, NH, is fed up with the groundhog's prediction of 6 more weeks of winter. Their discontent is not due to Phil's inaccuracy, as this winter has continued to remain brutal for much if not all of New England. Instead, police are now on the hunt for Phil because he failed to mention the several feet of snow that would continue to accumulate during this cold and drawn-out winter.

Here at Black Bishop WX, we don't take kindly to public officials harassing us hard-working meteorologists over our predictions, especially correct ones. It was egregious enough when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lashed out at NWS forecasters for their extremely accurate prediction of Buffalo's 2014 lake-effect snow event, but they are intelligent people capable of coping with unjust criticism. YOU LEAVE OUR CUTE FUZZY METEOROLOGISTS ALONE, NEW HAMPSHIRE! IF YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT THAT 6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER IS PROBABLY GONNA MEAN A LOT MORE SNOW, YOU SHOULD GO MOVE SOMEWHERE NICER LIKE MOST OF YOUR STATE'S ANCESTORS DID. YOUR MOST FAMOUS MONUMENT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE PROBABLY DUE TO EROSION CAUSED BY ALL THE SHITTY WINTER WEATHER YOU GET. YOU ARE NOTHING, NEW HAMPSHIRE. NOTHING.

Sorry, I got a little carried away, but the take-home point remains that we at Black Bishop WX will do anything to protect our fellow meteorologists, even if they aren't our own species.

In their statement, police described Punxsutwney Phil as armed and dangerous and discouraged the public from approaching him. This is the first sensible point mentioned by Merrimack's finest, who clearly recalled an incident on Groundhog Day in Wisconsin. Jimmy the Groundhog, Phil's fellow rodent forecaster in Sun Prairie, WI, did not take kindly to Mayor Jon Fruend's skepticism of his prediction.

Well played, Jimmy.
