KLTV’s Mark Scirto vs. the Groundhog
First of all, we're in Texas so we don't really listen to groundhogs, much less know what they even are. February 2 is Armadillo Day, but you know what, I still have trouble believing a mammal that requires four legs to walk to tell me if I should put a coat on.
KLTV explains it best in a Facebook post they shared today, and I'm pretty sure all East Texans can agree: Mark Scirto is OUR groundhog or armadillo or whatever you based your weather-related decisions on. By the way, if you follow is page, you'll never be in the dark when it comes to East Texas weather. #InMARKwetrust
KLTV breaks it down for us:
Punxsutawney Phil:
- Works one day a year
- Has never been to East Texas
- Didn't go to school at all
Mark Skirto:
- Works all year long
- Served East Texas for 30 years
- Has a degree in meteorology
